Banksia – Organic Semi-Hard Tomme-Style Cheese
Discover Banksia, a 6–8 month semi-hard Tomme-style cheese crafted from certified organic cow’s milk from a family-run farm. Inspired by Tomme de Savoie and Abondance cheeses, Banksia delivers a firm yet creamy paste with rich buttery, sweet-grassy, and nutty flavours, perfect for both cheese boards and cooking.
Appearance & Texture:
Banksia has a natural rind with mottled reddish, yellow, and brown tones, and a pale yellow, creamy interior dotted with small holes. Its dense, elastic paste melts beautifully, making it ideal for grilling, fondue, toasties, gratins, or béchamel sauces.
Flavour Profile:
-
Young: Creamy, sweet, and nutty with earthy undertones
-
Mature: Pungent, brothy, and umami-rich with excellent flavour length
Serving Suggestions:
Perfect on a cheese board with crusty bread or crackers, or as a melting cheese for cooking. Grill it like Raclette or enjoy it in warm dishes to experience its creamy, satisfying texture. (Contains animal rennet; not suitable for vegetarians.)
Pairing Recommendations:
Enhance the complex flavours of Banksia with wines like aged Riesling, White Rioja, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir, or Gamay, or with Golden or Belgian ales. For melting dishes like Raclette or fondue, try crisp alpine whites such as Pinot Blanc, Soave, or Muller Thurgau to balance the richness.
Bring Banksia to your table for a rich, buttery, earthy, and melt-in-your-mouth semi-hard cheese experience that elevates both casual and gourmet dining.
