Tasmania Highland Chevre Log
Another Australian cheese that is made from Goat's milk... this cheese is fresh and lemony, with a moist, cheesecake texture. There are two versions of the cheese, plain and ash-covered. Chevre Log takes just from one to three weeks to ripen.

 

Tarentaise - Select Cut
Tarentaise is an aged, raw-milk, organic handmade cheese. This artisan cheese is made using a copper cheese vat in the tradition of the Beaufort and Abondance cheeses of the Tarentaise Valley in the Savoie region of the French Alps.

 

 

Tavor
Tavor is a Kosher cheese made from a blend of sheep and goat's milk. Its rind is sprayed with Penicillium Kandidium which penetrates inwards during the maturation process. The natural sweetness of the sheep's milk is expressed in the flavor and milky earthiness of Tavor. Its full, buttery texture makes it a truly splendid Israeli cheese, with a distinct, tangy flavor.

 

Teleme
Sort of square, soft and creamy. The tangy, nutty flavors are enhanced by aging, and its rind turns a rust color. This cheese is yummy with smoked ham and garlicky meats, a variety of melons and wines.

 

Testouri
Testouri was introduced into North Africa by the Ottomans after the 15th century. It's shaped like an orange, is made from sheep's or goat's milk. This cheese is eaten fresh and lightly salted, and is very popular in the Near East.

 

Windsor Red
Windsor Red is a cheddar-based product imported from England. The cheddar is marbled with a mix of port and brandy, giving it a berry flavor and an eye-catching look. Strikingly beautiful, Windsor Red makes an excellent addition to any cheese board. Serve it during hors d'oeuvres or after dinner as part of a cheese course. For a gourmet salad, combine cubed Windsor Red with a mix of radicchio and endive.

 

Xanadu
This Greek cheese is a blend of feta, kasseri, and the whey of mizithra. It's also a blend of cow and goat milks. Xanadu is always aged in semi-circular molds [half-moons] for at least 14 months.

 

Xynotyro
Xynotyro cheese is hard and flaky, and usually is described as a sweet, burnt caramel combined with the sour taste of the whey. It is made from the mixture of sheep's and goat's milk and is found in many different shapes and sizes. Xynotyro is low-fat, only 20 per cent.

 

Yuulong Lavender - Select Cut
Made for the Yuulong Lavender Estate near Mt. Egerton, east of Melbourne, this unusual cheese is made with Lavandula Angustifolia Vera. It is a summer flowering culinary Lavender, free from Camphor. This cheese has a pleasant and distinctive aromatic flavor which complements Mt. Emu Creek’s distinctive sheep’s milk cheese.
