#58 Pecorino Romano

This is antique cheese. Just look at that photo and the deep rich golden colours of a beautifully aged cheese. And it's been made since the days of the Roman Empire.
Our piece was dry and crumbly with a flavour of rich, salty, caramel (and slightly nutty too). Made in Sardinia from sheep's milk its aged 5-8 months. One variety of pecorino (Casu marzu - not this one) is made using fly larvae. Maybe a future addition to the tally???

#57 Charleston Brie by Woodside Cheese Wrights

Woodside cheese wrights from South Australia have featured a few times in the ton of cheese tally, their Charleston Brie (made from Jersey Cow's milk) is another example of a great Australian cheese.

Mushroomy and buttery fully ripe inside - it oozed but wasn't runny. The rind was breaking down and developed yellow streaks.
