#6 GrandvEwe Cheeses Primavera

GrandvEwe cheeses (I warned readers of puns but I expected to make them mysellf) are made just south of Hobart in Tasmania and their speciality is sheep cheeses - didn't see that coming.
Primavera is made in the style of  manchego. The cheese was pale yellow with a thin hard brown rind - the rind was all that was left of this cheese which proved to be a winner -with a mellow, creamy taste.
It's the second manchego cheese sampled so far in this quest - the style originated in Spain in the La Mancha region - so if you're looking to tilt at windmills - this is the cheese for you.
I'm looking forward to sampling a few more cheeses from GrandvEwe - partly for the pun, partly for the quality of the Primevera, but mostly because they have a bunch of other fine looking cheeses on their website check it out - http://grandvewe.com.au/product-category/sheep-cheese/
This was one of four cheeses we had on the Australia Day platter - all home grown and all sourced from the very helpful Chrissy at Milawa Cheese Shop in North Carlton - http://www.thecheeseshop.com.au/







Is cheese is good
