Coal River Farm Blue Cheese: Review
This cheese was so good I was in shock. Coal River Farm Blue Cheese is a cow’s milk blue cheese made using vegetarian rennet. It has an ivory colour and significant blue streaking. The texture is approaching semi-hard. High intensity on the nose. Tastes creamy and relatively mellow for a blue cheese. Mineral flavours and some umani. Good acidity and salt as you’d expect from a blue. Impressive.

Wine Matching | Wine Pairing
It’s blue cheese, so find a wine with some sweetness and big body. Port is the classic, or maybe a Rutherglen sticky. If you are feeling generous try Lethbridge Primarone. Or see my cheese and wine pairing guide for more options.
