05/12/2016 - Monforte
Monforte is our flagship cheese, handcrafted in very limited quantities from the best cow’s milk produced by the dairy. It is a raw milk (unpasteurised), semi-hard cheese with a complex, but not overpowering flavour. Our Monforte has an initially sweet, milky and fruity taste, that is balanced by emerging brothy and roasted nut flavours with a subtle earthy undertone.
Best Served With: Plain crackers, dried fruit or fruit paste (eg. quince/plum)
Wine Match: Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, Gamay, Savagnin
