Every year, we have customers eagerly seeking out soft, raw milk cheeses like Mont d'Or, Reblochon, Brie de Meaux, and other French classics. These cheeses, celebrated for their depth of flavour and unique textures, are made from unpasteurised milk—a practice deeply rooted in European tradition. Unfortunately, due to Australia's stringent food safety regulations, the importation of such unpasteurised, soft cheeses is prohibited. As a result, beloved varieties like Reblochon and Mont d'Or are not available for import.

While this may be disappointing for cheese enthusiasts longing for the authentic French experience, there's a delicious silver lining! For those looking to bake traditional Alpine dishes like Tartiflette or Croziflette, Delice du Jura is a wonderful alternative. This pasteurised French cheese offers a rich, creamy texture and nutty flavour, making it a perfect substitute. Delice du Jura is a versatile, decadent cheese that melts beautifully, ensuring your recipes stay true to their comforting roots.

For a locally made option, you can also try Mountain Man from Victoria. This Australian-made cheese is a great alternative to Reblochon, offering a rich, creamy flavour and texture, perfect for your cheesy, baked dishes. Whether you choose Delice du Jura or Mountain Man, both options will satisfy your cravings for indulgent, Alpine-inspired flavours—without breaking any import rules!
