Bluestone – Australian Natural-Rinded Blue Cheese
Discover Bluestone, a complex Australian blue cheese with a natural rind, offering layers of flavour and texture beyond a simple salty-blue hit. Crafted for depth, Bluestone delivers a balanced, creamy, and subtly fruity blue cheese experience.
Appearance & Texture:
Bluestone has a distinctive orange-brown-blue natural rind and a creamy-coloured interior flecked with delicate blue veins. Its paste is dense and buttery near the rind, becoming slightly chalky and crumbly in the centre, reminiscent of traditional Stilton, but with a mild, nuanced blueing throughout.
Flavour Profile:
A harmonious blend of creamy, buttery, and fruity notes with gentle saltiness, punctuated by subtle bursts from the blue mould. The result is a cheese of impressive complexity and length of flavour that melts luxuriously on the palate.
Serving Suggestions:
Perfect in a cheese board selection with fruit bread, gingerbread, or fruit cakes, or crumbled into autumnal salads with radicchio, endive, peppery watercress, walnuts, and grilled pear. Use as a creamy blue sauce with rib-eye steak or baked mushrooms, or sprinkle over waxy potatoes, tarts, or vegetable custards for a rich, indulgent finish.
Pairing Recommendations:
Bluestone pairs beautifully with fruity, slightly sweet wines that retain acidity, such as Sauternes, late-harvest Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Tokaji, or Eiswein. Fortified options like Tawny Port, Rutherglen Muscat, Topaque, Pedro Ximenez, or sweet Madeira also complement its creamy complexity. For adventurous pairings, try aged sweet sakes or chocolatey stouts.
Bring Bluestone to your table for a creamy, buttery, and complex Australian blue cheese that elevates cheese boards, cooking, and gourmet dining.
