Ironbark (Organic)

This semi hard cheese is made in the Alpine style of cooked- curd cheese (from the same family of cheeses as Comté, Beaufort and Gruyere, but with its own Australian identity).
Ironbark has a deep brown/grey hard rind with a pale-yellow dense semi-hard paste. The paste is firm and elastic, compact but with some small openings. Its aromatic profile is mainly brothy, meaty, umami and animaly, with a hint of sweetness.
