STANTHORPE CHEESE
BRASS MONKEY BLUE
BRASS MONKEY BLUE
PERFECTLY PAIRS WITH SWEET ACCOMPANIMENTS
Brass Monkey Blue is named after our famous Brass Monkey Season in midwinter – our temperatures can go as low as minus 15 degrees! It ages in large 4kg wheels in the Blue room for up to 8 weeks.
This is a soft, creamy, salty, sweet, and beautifully balanced blue vein.
As it is open-textured, the air gaps in the curd allow the blue mould to grow and produce spikes of delicious blue veins right throughout the cheese. Even though Brass Monkey Blue looks very fierce, with its strong blue mould development – it is surprisingly mild in taste, and a great place to start if you are wary of Blue cheeses.
The texture is firm but crumbly, with a lovely strong salt balance that offsets the creamy tanginess of the milk. Pairs well with sweet accompaniments and sweet wines.
