Dellendale Creamery – Torndirrup Appenzelle

Inspired by centuries of Swiss cheesemaking, Dellendale Creamery crafts this golden wash-rind cheese with patience and care. The wheels are carefully bathed in unique brines and matured for 5–9 months, allowing deep flavours to develop while retaining a smooth, supple texture.

On the nose, it offers rich, spicy aromas, while on the palate, a leisurely tasting unfolds into layers of toasty nuts, sweet butterscotch, and hints of pineapple. Complex yet approachable, this cheese balances intensity with finesse, making it a true artisan gem from Western Australia’s south coast.
