Bruny Island Saint

Bruny Island is an island located off the south-east coast of Tasmania - it's also home to one of Tasmania's most interesting cheese-makers, Bruny Island Cheese. While I've enjoyed their cheese in restaurants, finding it in the stores can be difficult but thankfully I've finally managed to find a reliable source.






As you can see the mould just lightly covers the round - the cheese itself is fairly pungent and when held you can feel a certain softness to it's structure.

Bruny Island says that this can be eaten when young - you'll find the cheese is firmer and milder - or you can wait until it is fully matured.

This cheese has been opened close to the best before date so it's at its oozy peak



It has an almost fondue like texture - full flavoured, it is quite luscious and rich on the tongue. The rind though can be a bit overpowering and if left out you'll soon find those ammonia aromas becoming a bit too strong.
