King Island Dairy Cape Wickham Double Brie

It's that time of year when you seem to do a lot more entertaining and cheese is usually on the menu.

The double brie is made by adding cream to the mix which produces a much richer and creamier finish and lush flavours.

Deep bold coloured interior that stays firmish - there's a little softening towards the middle. Full flavours that seem to stick in your mouth, courtesy of that extra cream content.

Hellenic Black Truffle Goat Curd

I may not have access to fresh truffles at the moment but that doesn't mean you have to go without. Here is a new product I've recently discovered that blends truffle with goat cheese!

I first spied these tiny tubs at Leo's in Kew and they immediately found their way into our trolley. I've since found them at Cleo's Deli in Prahran Market too.

There's a little oil covering the cheese and all those specks you see are black truffle. Easily spreadable, it would be a quick way to smarten up those everyday sandwiches.

I've also used it in those Tortelloni as a replacement for the White Truffle paste.
