Marechal – 200g
$112
Le Maréchal is a newish cheese; the Rapin family first created the firm raw-milk cheese in 1992 in the Vaud region of Switzerland. The milk is delivered twice a day to the cheese makers from 14 local producers and turned into cheese no later than 10 hours after being received; it’s often still warm from milking. Made with traditional techniques, it’s ripened for 120 days (about half the minimum time for Gruyère, because it is made in smaller 13-pound wheels).

Bleu des Causses – 150g
$50Bleu des Causses is a French blue cheese made from milk of Montbeliarde and Aubrac breeds of cow. A close cousin to Roquefort, it is produced in the Languedoc region of southern France and was granted AOC name protection in 1979. Traditionally, the cheese was made from a mixture of sheep’s milk mixed either with cow’s or goat’s milk. But according to French cheese laws, the cheese came to be made exclusively from cow’s milk. Bleu des Causses has a high-fat content of 45% and is matured for at least seventy days. However, the cheese can also be matured for up to six months in Gorges du Tarn’s natural limestone caves to develop a full and fine flavour. The cheese is similar to Blue d’Auvergne in many ways, despite Bleu des Causses having a noticeably firmer, creamier texture and spicy flavours. Bleu des Causses produced in winter and summer slightly differ in texture and flavour. Cheeses made in winter are light in colour than their summer equals. The winter produce also tends to be slightly drier. A taste of the Bleu des Causses will proffer a blend of rich milkiness amidst the peppery and spicy notes of the blue mould. The summer produce brings out their unique grassy and clover flavours.
