CHEESE BOX 40 –

OCTOBER 22

Welcome to our Cheese box 40 – October 22! 

Introducing Boom Town Gold! A one-off unique cheese made just for Cheese Wheelers this month to celebrate NZ Cheese Month.

BOOM TOWN GOLD – FROM THE CRANKY GOAT AND BOOMTOWN BREWING CO

From a special and unique one-off collaboration The Cheese Wheel initiated for you between Simon, outstanding cheese maker near Picton and Clive, from a craft brewery in Blenheim. This collaboration brings you an amazing goat cheese washed in a pale-ale and finished with the vibes of one of NZ’s food bowls. Match with a pale-ale of course, or a Marlborough Chardonnay.

Region: Malborough. Type of milk: goat.

AKITIO ROBIOLINO – FROM KINGSMEADE CHEESE

A spectacularly fresh cheese made by Miles, Janet, and the Kingsmeade team back in Masterton. Such a great way to celebrate Spring, as the fresh Spring milk makes this cheese even more creamy and delicious. It’s an Italian style cheese with a light citrus flavour. Pour the whey out, rip some of that baguette off and top it with this, matched with a pinot blanc or a light IPA.

Region: Wairarapa. Type of milk: cow.

TASMAN BLUE – FROM LITTLE RIVER ESTATE

A gorgeous looking Shropshire style blue, thus is relatively mild, very creamy and a bit spicy. Put a slab on a slice from an artisan baguette, and pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon or an American Amber beer.

Region: Nelson. Type of milk: cow.

VINTAGE GOUDA – FROM KARIKAAS

Some days we’d be happy to eat vintage Gouda all day long. Karikaas, who specializes in Dutch-style cheeses make an excellent example. It’s world class, so watch out for the crunchy crystals as you lift your glass of Cabernet Franc or Doppelbock.

Region: Canterbury. Type of milk: cow.
