A Bastard is Born
This week we cut the first wheel of our new cheese which for good or bad has the name The Bastard.
It is made from 50% cow’s milk and 50% goat’s milk. To my knowledge this is the first mixed milk cheese made in Tasmania. It is aged for about 4 months and is a semi-hard cheese with a slightly open texture.
The flavour is amazing! It has the savoury, mouth filling robustness of an aged cow’s milk cheese with a delicate, palate clearing flavour from the goat’s milk.
We only made a couple of batches, so there is not heaps of it. And if the staff stop eating it, you might be able to find it in the Hobart shops in the next few weeks.
