Blackall Gold Washed Rind by Woombye Cheese

Gooey, fruity and full of flavour.

Size: 200g
Form: round 

A true Australian classic, Blackall Gold is Woombye’s signature washed rind — rich, creamy, and bold. Beneath its golden-orange rind lies a supple paste that begins mild and buttery, then develops into a complex, pungent cheese with savoury depth and a lingering finish.

Crowned Champion Queensland Cheese and the recipient of multiple national awards, Blackall Gold has earned its place as one of Australia’s most celebrated washed rinds. It’s a cheese that rewards patience: enjoy it young for a gentle creaminess, or let it mature for that full, aromatic punch. 

Storage & Serving Tips

Store in the refrigerator, but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving — that’s when its creamy texture and full flavours really shine. Blackall Gold loves the company of a full-bodied red wine, bold enough to match this gutsy cheese. Enjoy it with soft, yeasty bread or simple crackers, or take Beth’s tip and melt generous slices through a potato gratin, where it spreads its savoury richness beautifully from top to bottom.

Aging Guide

• At 3-4 weeks: Enjoy a chalky texture with a mild, creamy taste
• At 5-8 weeks: Experience the perfect balance of washed rind fruity richness
• 8+ weeks: The cheese becomes more intense in flavour from 6-8weeks
