Bruny Island 1792
Bruny Island Cheese Co. · Tasmania
Pungent, savoury and very French, a washed-rind cheese matured on Huon pine boards.
The cheese
Bruny Island Cheese Co. named 1792 after the year the French first set foot in Tasmania. It is a small cow's milk cheese made in the traditional way, its pinky-orange rind washed by hand in brine to encourage the bacteria that build its flavour. The cheeses are matured on aromatic Huon pine boards. Each cheese weighs about 160g.
Tasting notes
The rind is sticky and pungent. Inside, the paste is soft and supple, with a rich, meaty, savoury flavour and a hint of resin from the pine.
How to enjoy
Serve it at room temperature with crusty bread and keep it apart from milder cheeses. Pair it with a meaty Pinot Noir or a Gewürztraminer. Take it out of the fridge an hour before serving.
