Nimbin Valley Cheesemaker Pack

What noise does a cow make, if it's a really happy cow? Well, we'd probably say it would still be a moo, but more of a high pitch, long moo. Although it might just be easier to just ask the happy cows and happy goats at the Nimbin Valley Dairy. It's said these little guys are the happiest on this side of the Capricorn! Before you go and YouTube 'happy goats', stick with us for just a little bit longer. Then do it - it's worth it! We are thrilled to have partnered with our cheesemakers at the wonderful Nimbin Valley Dairy and you're also going to be thrilled, once you see what they've put on offer for you. 

Who is Nimbin Valley Dairy? 
We all know Nimbin as a NSW hub for impeccable produce and Nimbin Valley Dairy certainly adds to this reputation! Nimbin Valley Dairy is the home of Kerry and Paul Wilson, together with 60 cows and 150 of the happiest free-ranging goats this side of Capricorn. Who doesn't love a happy cow? Inspired by the French and Italian plus a hefty 5 generations behind them, these cheesemakers make the kind of cheese that's stands a testament to the families long standing traditions. 

What are the cheeses?
Bringing together a blue, a soft, a stinky and a hard, this pack is a great combination of 4 brilliant cheeses!

Tintenbar Triple Cream 
Crafted from cow milk, Tintenbar Triple Cream is a bloomy white mould cheese that's been made even more delightful with the addition of fresh cream. When young the paste has a chalky texture which matures into a very creamy and oozy cheese with a rich buttery yellow centre. This is how we like it! 

Nashua Washed Rind
Nashua Washed Rind is a washed rind soft cheese crafted from cow milk, similar in shape and size to a camembert, but more bold and brave with it's tasty, yeasty outer! When young, the paste has a chalky texture which matures into a very creamy and soft cheese with a buttery yellow centre. 

Blue Cow
Blue Cow is a surface ripened cow milk cheese with characteristic blue veins throughout. The rind is soft and the intensity of colour and flavour increases with age. For a softer texture, stronger flavour with fruity notes, we recommend you wait as long as you can to resist this one. As Kerry says, the second mouse gets the cheese!

Monte Nardi
Monte Nardi is a hard cow milk cheese that pays tribute to the early Italian settlers of the Northern Rivers region; it is Australia’s first truly regional cheese. Italian settlers began arriving at the beginning of last century from the Venuto region and surrounds of northern Italy, bringing their local farmhouse cheese making skills with them. Over a period of time reaching out and learning from the generations before them, Nimbin Valley crafted the Monte Nardi to perfection!
 

Blessed are the cheesemakers.
