Impressionism meets Food Art
Monet is a fresh cheese made by Woodside Cheese Wrights in the Adelaide Hills. Its name is inspired by French impressionist painter, Claude Monet.
Kris Lloyd has been the head cheesemaker at Woodside Cheese Wrights since the late 1990’s. Over the years, she has created some truly memorable cheeses such as Vigneron and Figaro. With Monet, she definitely has taken things to the next level!
The most delicate of touches
It all begins with the exceptional local goat’s milk. With the most delicate of touches, Kris transforms this milk into a fresh chèvre and tops it with a selection of edible herbs and flowers.
Without doubt, the Nasturtiums are the most eye-catching of the lot. This seasonal flower is only available during spring and summer. As such, they only make this beauty during those months.
Overall, the cheese itself has a fresh lactic aroma and a pristine white texture. On the palate, it is quite citrusy and herby and has a subtle spicy finish.
How to pair Monet
Enjoy with something cold and citrusy, along the lines of a Sauvignon Blanc or a yuzu Umeshu for something really spectacular!
