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.

Meredith Dairy Marinated Goat Cheese

It's surprising that I've only written about Meredith Dairy once before - surprising because I enjoy so much of their cheese. To redress the situation, I'm focusing on probably their most user friendly cheese - The Meredith Dairy Goat Cheese Marinated in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Barossa Valley Blushing Princess

I've been a fan of Barossa Valley Cheese for a while so I was most happy to see a new cheese in their range:

This is the Blushing Princess and you might recognise that label from La Petite Princesse.

This is a goat milks cheese camembert that has been lightly washed. The initial aromas are grassy rather than musty.

Before slicing I've allowed the cheese to come up to temperature, allowing those gooey characteristics to come forth.

I've found the rind to be quite thick though it isn't too overpowering. The cheese itself is quite sweet, good fat levels means the flavour lingers in your mouth.
