#17 Old Telegraph Road Tomme from Jindi

Last weekend was a camping weekend and (despite the heat) a couple of cheeses accompanied us to be eaten in the great outdoors.

Jindi's Old Telegraph Road Tomme was a highly appropriate cheese for our table as we were camped not far from Jindvick where its made.

The Tomme had a washed rind-like flavour with a very creamy texture. The brown rind looked ancient enough to have surfaced at an archeological dig. It gave a healthy kick of ammonia which put off a couple of sensitive souls at the table but everyone was a fan of the soft, mellow inner which had a butter yellow look about it.

Its good to see some Jindi about after the listeria issues earlier in the year - their old telegraph road range looks like it should make a solid and delicious contribution to the ton of cheese tally over the rest of the year.


Another great recommendation from Chrissy at the Milawa Cheese Shop in North Carlton.
