Vintage Five Forks - goat + cow milk mix

Vintage Five Forks - goat + cow milk mix

Size

Made from a 50/50 blend of goat’s and cow’s milk, this pressed cheese develops pineapple nutty flavours with a sweet crunchy finish that enhances with ageing. The mix of milk provides a distinctive cheese which adds a new dimension to cheese boards or cooking

Now one of our specialty Premium Black Label cheeses, Vintage Five Forks is a unique blend of cow and goat milk that delivers a bold, complex flavour developed through long maturation. What started as a trial-and-error experiment turned into something truly special.

Named after the rural community of Five Forks, 20km inland from Ōamaru, this cheese reflects the care, time and patience of its origin.

Match with...

  • Medium-bodied red wine such as a cab merlot, or a cab Light beer, pilsner
  • Serve at room temperature on your cheese board with plain crackers, fruit and tart chutneys. Delicious in a baked tart with chargrilled capsicum and pesto.

we love this cheese and order repeatedly. Thank you. The exact balance between soft and hard.

Literally the only thing wrong with this cheese is that it was out of stock for over a year.

Creamy, bitey, nutty, crunchy, it's a cheese like no other. So good, we're thinking of buying a full 1.7kg round just for my wife and I so we never run out again (until we finish it, of course). See the May edition of Cuisine for a proper review, but all I need to say is that it's just bloody great!
