Cloth Aged Cheddar 150g
Where it started. Our flagship cheese.
Maffra Cheddar is recognised both nationally and internationally as one of the world's best cheeses. We still mill, cheddar and salt by hand (yes, cheddar is a verb as well as a noun). We use a semi-permeable cloth and a natural vegetable ash to not only lock-in moisture, but to regulate the rate of ripening.
Unlike the English cheddar-making tradition, we focus on a different maturation pathway to break down fats, proteins and cultures (and their derivatives), a process known as catabolism. This process is based on a uniquely Australian cheddar-making tradition, one which has been mostly lost in this era of mass automation, and one which we want to preserve.
Each unit is 150g, and you can only purchase it alongside 4 other 150g units.
Club cheeses are a mix of different cheeses blended to produce a smooth, buttery texture, often with other ingredients. In addition to being excellent table cheeses, they pair well with beer and wine. test
Use them during summer to create a beautiful cheeseboard for your BBQ, or in winter they can sliced and grilled in toasties, or grated over steaming pasta.
