Nashua is a washed‑rind soft cheese that surprises you the moment you unwrap it. With a fragrant and vibrant rind, it gives way to a luxuriously creamy paste and delivers rich savoury notes with a deliciously earthy complexity with that signature washed‑rind kick. Let it mellow in your fridge until it murmurs “ready,” then pair it with crusty sourdough, simple crackers, or enjoy it with full‑bodied red wines, ports, or even whisky for a truly indulgent experience.

Storage & Serving Tips

Store in the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before serving to fully enjoy its creamy texture and flavours. Perfect for slicing or smearing on fresh bread or simple crackers. Serve with white wines, lighter reds or crisp lagers. 

Aging Guide

  • At 3-4 weeks: Enjoy a chalky texture with a mild, creamy taste
  • At 5-8 weeks: Experience the creamy ooze and and pungent washed-rind richness.
  • 8+ weeks: The cheese becomes more intense with barnyard and intense aroma

Ingredients:

Cow milk, salt, cultures, vegetable rennet


 

The Maker - Nimbin Valley Dairy

Nimbin Valley Dairy is a fifth-generation family farm on Bundjalung Country, where Paul and Kerry Wilson and their three sons turned to small-batch cheesemaking after the deregulation of the dairy industry in 2000. With roots in regenerative farming and inspiration from French and Italian traditions, their journey took off in 2007 when Paul received the Dairy Australia Cheesemaking Scholarship. Today, from their ridge-top farm with sweeping valley views, they craft award-winning cow and goat milk cheeses that carry a true sense of place.

strong in flavour

This is a strong smelling and tasting cheese. It may not for everyone but I certainly enjoyed it with crackers and dried fruit
