Moonrise

★ BRONZE - 2024-2025 World Cheese Awards, Portugal★ GREAT TASTE AWARD - 2024 Guild of Fine Food, UK★ SILVER - 2024 International Cheese and Dairy Awards, UK★ BRONZE - 2022 125th International Cheese and Dairy Awards, UK Moonrise is a fun, approachable, pocket-sized washed-rind cheese. We make it in a rare dual-coagulation process using both traditional French calf rennet and Iberian cardoon thistle flowers. This combination ties proteins together in a unique form, making the cheese silky while releasing unique flavor and aroma compounds. Aged for 35 days, the washed rind develops an orange hue over a well-defined lusciously smooth creamline. Younger cheeses will have a denser center core. Moonrise is creamy and balanced with notes of apple, and cabbage and the finish reminiscent of roasted peanuts. It's a great melter too! Sold as entire compact wheel, 4.5 oz/130g min. net weight Ingredients:  Pasteurized cultured whole milk, enzymes (French calf rennet, Cardoon thistle flower), salt.
