Grandvewe Primavera

Time for another cheese - this time I'm featuring another sheeps milk cheese from Tasmanian Dairy, Grandvewe

Cheese Maker: Grandvewe Cheese
Cheese Type: Primavera
Location: 59 Devlyns Road, Birchs Bay Tasmania
Open:
September - June: 10am-5pm, 7 days excluding Christmas day
July - August: 10am-4pm daily except Tuesdays

Primavera is made in a Manchego style. Only milk from Spring is used to make this cheese and it's matured between 2 and 8 months.

Primavera is a semi-firm cheese, it won't crumble when cut but it's soft enough to be broken into pieces by hand. Creamy in the mouth with that typical sweet sheep milk characters. It is not a sharply flavoured cheese and is fairly mild - it is very pleasant to eat just on its own.

King Island Dairy Discovery Brie Rolle

For this next cheese I'm heading back to King Island and featuring a featuring a new product from their Discovery line: King Island Dairy Discovery Brie Rolle

It's a Brie but presented in an unusual way - as a long roll

It still has that traditional covering of white mould shielding a butter-coloured interior

This hasn't been out of the fridge for very long and it's still a few weeks away from being fully ripe so it is firm but there are hints of a creamy interior visible .

It's evident that it's been designed to fit neatly on a cracker, even so, it shouldn't be dismissed on the basis of a marketing ploy. I found the cheese to be quite rich with excellent levels of fat that give you that enjoyable creaminess in the mouth. The rind is delicately flavoured with earthy scents.

Since King Island Dairy is a larger brand, you should be able to find this at larger supermarkets.

Check out their website for more information: King Island Dairy.
