Long Paddock Driftwood

Long Paddock cheese is an organic cows' milk cheesemaker based in Castlemaine, Victoria on Dja Dja Warrung country. Established by cheese tragics Ivan and Julie Larcher, Alison Lansley, Ann-Marie Monda and Carla Meurs, they are determined to see Australia's artisan cheese industry flourish. 

Driftwood is their funky bark-belted soft cheese in the style of Vacherin Mont d’Or. Delicious eaten as is – or baked in its belt like a mini-fondue! With a thin bloomy rind, the paste is creamy and melty, becoming oozy, runny and spoonable as it ages. It is mildly-woodsy, creamy and nutty, becoming stronger in aroma and taste with age.

Delicious eaten as is – just remove its bark belt & eat it like any soft cheese. Or when it’s really ripe and runny, we love to leave its belt on, cut off the top rind with a sharp knife to expose its delectable interior, and use it as a dip for bread or crackers – a great party piece! Or bake it in its belt like a mini-fondue.
