While it may be shaped exactly like the Sorrento Picnic, once unwrapped the differences become more obvious


That white to beige rind carries a saffron hue that's slightly sticky in parts.


Once cut we observe a much paler coloured cheese. The taste is fresh with a slight tang, reminiscent of a mild cheddar. When we sampled the portsea and sorrento together on the cheese platter, we thought that this Portsea was the better of the two.
