Sorrento Picnic

Mild semi-hard savoury cheese

Sorrento Picnic has a texture that slices well, a mild but lingering flavour, and clean acid finish. The natural rind may have a coat of white mould.

Serving
Sorrento Picnic is texturally a robust, hearty cheese, while the taste remains mild with a clean savoury finish. Serve on a neutral cracker with olive tapenade or pesto. Ideal melting cheese.

Cheesemaker Burke Brandon & Brewer Craig Johnson.

"The anticipation has never be more intense than for this tasting match, and it was spot-on! Our new ale-washed cheese ?#?BrewersGold? with its subtle, yet lingering, malty aftertaste nestled perfectly with the full flavoured ?#?darkale?.
While still a delicate, moist cheese, residual savoury lactic freshness offsets the richness of this ?handcrafted? ale."

Waratah

SEASONAL
Delicate, exotic, soft smear-ripened cheese

Created from the milk of our Moyarra ewes
Vegetarian rennet


A special treat for serious cheeselovers!

Pure sheep cheese, oozing with gentle though complex flavours. A cheese that displays the finest qualities of sheep milk, finishing with the back-palate softness so typical of sheep cheese. Soft smear-ripened cheese with a luscious texture and delectable flavours, lingering on the palate with a final sweetness. The golden aura of this style develops naturally from flora associated with surrounding vineyards. The aroma and flavour integrate and intensify with age, and the warmer the cheese becomes, the more powerful is this effect. Bring to room temperature for several hours before serving. May become sticky, stinky and extreme when fully mature.

Sheep Sensation

Soft-matured
Farmhouse-style sheep-milk cheese
Created only from the milk of our Moyarra ewes.
Vegetarian rennet

Sheep Sensation is a unique, farmhouse-style cheese. A slow make technique develops a fine, close texture with a creamy, luscious mouth feel. The body is covered in a wrinkled, bloomy white rind. The flavour is distinctively different - a balance between sweet and sour, and long on the palate. Melts in the mouth. The aroma is of the farm, reminiscent of freshly-cut grass.

Sheep Sensation can be enjoyed at any stage, from fresh (3-5 days), to creamy (14 days) to semi-matured (3-4 weeks) to aged (2-3 months), when it develops a waxy-smooth, drier texture with concentrated flavours and a peppery finish.

Sheep Sensation has amazing characteristics, controlled by the rind flora, which allow it to mature gracefully into a parmesan-style grating cheese. The moulds slowly draw moisture out of the cheese. This moisture should be allowed to escape unless you are looking for a more pungent cheese. For this to happen, wrap in waxed parchment.

Round - Size: 8cm diameter - Weight: approx. 170g

Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc or dessert wines, depending on the age of the cheese.

Bright Brewery recommended match:
Blowhard Pale Ale - an American-style pale ale.

SEASONAL (Aug-March)
Soft-matured ashed sheep cheese
Created only from the milk of our Moyarra ewes.
Vegetarian rennet

Short Season * Limited Release

Rich Farmhouse Sheep Cheese
Dusted with vine charcoal

Black Sheep is another unique farmhouse-style cheese not often seen in Australia.

Each mini round is made from 1 litre of ewe milk.
A melt-in-the-mouth, dense, creamy cheese with an attractive, mottled and wrinkled, silvery-white rind that develops, after about 3 weeks' maturation, as the distinctive flora grows through the layer of vine charcoal.

Serving
May be enjoyed from a few days old (mild with yoghurt-like, fresh flavour), but those who know will keep it for several weeks until it's soft throughout - a sweet, oozing cheese. Keep it in a cool, moist place to avoid drying, and allow it to warm well at room temperature before serving.

Match with full-bodied red wine and fresh (or preserved) fruits.

Mini (semi-matured) - Size: 6.5cm diameter - Weight: approx. 180g
