Galactic Gold Washed Rind Cheese
|
Winner, Cuisine Champion Artisan Cheese, 2009 Over the Moon's Galactic Gold is orangey-yellow and the rind may be slightly sticky. It has a rich, aromatic, piquant flavour and a creamy, soft and supple body, a little like the texture of camembert. The texture is creamy and melting, and as it matures the cheese develops a more complex taste. The cheese is known as a ‘washed rind'. Once the cheeses are set out to mature after making, they are washed with brine solution every 2-3 days during their maturation time which helps to develop their distinctive texture and flavour. Originally developed by Trappist Monks to eat on their fasting days, they were originally banned on French public transport because of their strong ‘smelly socks" aroma! It is delicious in salads, quiches, and cheese platters, but best of all as a dessert with dried fruit. $7.74
