Selles-sur-cher fermier – 150g
$96
The Selles-sur-cher takes its name from the village of Selles-sur-Cher, which itself is named after the local river, the Cher. The AOC was awarded in 1986, although the cheese itself dates back to the nineteenth century. This cheese used to be produced for family consumption.
The steely grey charcoal ash rind enrobes a pure white paste which is smooth and mild with a fondant texture. The flavour is tart and salty with a rich hazelnut aroma. Locals eat the rind, which gives the cheese a sharper, more pronounced flavour.
This is a cheese for the end of meal perhaps served alongside a small salad of mixed leaves with a few slices of green apple.

Creamy Gorgonzola by Spoon – 300g
$124Gorgonzola is a soft, creamy Italian blue cheese that is a member of the Stracchino family of cheeses. Gorgonzola originated in the town of the same name near Milan, Italy in the 8th century. Prior to being called Gorgonzola, the cheese was generically called “green stracchino”. By 1970, a Consortium for the protection of Gorgonzola cheese was created in order to protect and oversee the production of Gorgonzola. In 1996, Gorgonzola was granted PDO (Designation of Protected Origin) status, which governs how and where Gorgonzola is produced in either the Piedmont or Lombardy regions of Italy.
