The Long Paddock - Silver Wattle

Silver Wattle - Soft Lactic Cheese 180g

Small soft lactic cheese with a thin rind and soft fudgy texture, becoming creamy and unctuous as it ages. The flavour is fresh and lactic when young, more intense and pungent as it ripens from the outside in, becoming soft and spreadable, while maintaining its round shape.  

Aspect: cream colour, slightly wavy geotrichum rind.

Texture: soft mousse-like texture, delicate thin rind bloomed with geotrichum, becoming creamy & oozy as it ages outside in.

Flavour: fresh, lemony, mild and lactic when young, becoming more pungent and yeasty as it ripens.
