TARAGO JENSENS RED WASHED RIND

$89.99 per Kilo

What an absolute art - like an abstract painter with a brush, this Jensen’s Red is a true skill to master and a creative outlet for our friends at Tarago River. Named after cheesemaker Laurie Jensen and influenced greatly by seasonal milk conditions, it’s nature's wild child. This is a tricky cheese to craft but when done right, oh my crackers and cheese, it’s a moment! This is one of those moments. How do they do it you ask? Well well, we can’t give all their secrets away, it’s cheese code. But between us, they wash the surface of the chalky curds with a light brine solution that encourages the brevi-bacterium linens and LAF yeasts added in the wash to run free like a wild mare in the Victorian wind. What happens next is really Mother Nature’s magic. When perfectly ripe, it oozes with creamy goodness and shows off a brilliant yellow soft mould rind. Grab your piece of paradise and grab a full bodied chardonnay, this is a moment to be savoured.
