Cheese

Tomme De Chevre Caprinelle (Pyrenees, France) Made from Goats milk, aged approx 3-6 months, classified as artisan. "Tomme" is an ancient word used to describe cheese and is often used as a generic term to describe cheeses produced on a small scale by farms or small dairies. This cheese is typical of cooked mountain cheeses of the Pyrenees that have been made for centuries. It is made only in small batches from fresh goats' milk during spring and autumn when goats can graze on the rich mountain pastures. Consequently it is quite rare. The cheese is considered ready to eat when the smooth nutty texture has developed a slightly sweet caramel flavour with a hint of the herbs and grasses of the mountains.
Brique D'Affinois (Rhone-Alpes, France) Made from Cows milk, aged approx. 6 weeks. This unusual brick shaped cheese is made by Fromagerie Guilloteau near Pelussin, France and is based on the 'brique' shape of a traditional cheese of the region. The facilities of this new dairy were built to utilise the best of modern dairy technology, but at the same time encompass and respect the flavours of the past. The result is an elegant cheese with a mixed washed/white rind. Slightly pungent it develops to a mild silky texture as it ripens.
Gabriel Coulet Roquefort (Roquefort, France) Made from Cows milk, aged approx. 5 months. The Coulet family have been making Roquefort since 1872, when Guillaume Coulet dug a wine cellar under his house. By a happy coincidence he found that the cave he had made contained fleurines, which are natural cracks providing ventilation for the caves. Recognising this as an ideal space for maturing Roquefort he abandoned the idea of a wine cellar. Five Coulet generations later, and the family is still producing a premium Roquefort using specially selected Penicillium Roqueforti to produce an exceptional cheese with a strong salty flavour.
