A true champion of the Australian cheddar world, Bay of Fires Cloth-Bound Cheddar is carefully wrapped in cloth and aged on pine boards to develop its signature character. Firm yet crumbly, it reveals a golden paste with a savoury bite, buttery richness, and earthy mineral notes that speak of Tasmania’s wild east coast. This is a cheddar to savour on its own, with fresh apple, or alongside a generous pour of red wine — a cheese board favourite that never disappoints.
