Cider Washed Rind – Bold, Fruity Cheese by Gold Coast Cheese Co.
Gold Coast Cheese Co. presents the Cider Washed Rind, a 180g wheel of artisan cheese crafted using an age-old technique perfected in Europe. This unique cheese starts as the Beechmont and is transformed by washing it in apple cider from Sunshine Coast Cider, made from apples grown in the highlands of the Granite Belt. This process alters the maturation, developing intense fruity notes and the unmistakable savoury tang of a washed rind. With each stage of aging, this cheese evolves from good to sublime, offering a unique experience for cheese lovers.
Tasting Notes:
- Fruity and tangy with a smooth, creamy texture
- Distinctive washed rind character with bold, savoury notes
- Intensifies in flavour as it ages, from 4 to 8+ weeks
Why Cider Washed Rind Stands Out: The traditional European technique of washing cheese in cider adds a new layer of complexity to this soft cheese. The apple cider from Sunshine Coast Cider enhances the natural flavours of the cheese, resulting in a balance of fruity sweetness and savoury tang. Ideal for those who enjoy bold cheeses with a twist, this cheese is perfect for entertaining or for an indulgent snack.
Aging Guide:
- Enjoy young at 4-6 weeks for a mild flavour
- Perfectly balanced at 6-8 weeks for more pronounced notes
- Sublime at 8+ weeks, with intense flavour and aroma
Pairing Suggestions:
- Pair with a crisp apple cider or a light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
- Serve with fresh apples, crusty bread, or nuts for contrast
- A great addition to any cheeseboard or as a stand-alone indulgence
Ingredients:
- Cow’s Milk
- Apple Cider (Sunshine Coast Cider)
- Salt
- Cultures
- Rennet
Storage & Serving Tips: Store the Cider Washed Rind in the refrigerator. For the best flavour, bring it to room temperature before serving. The cheese will continue to develop its flavour and texture as it ages, becoming even more intense and creamy.
