Coppermine

A washed rind that gets better as it ages, this camembert style cheese draws its inspired name from a resemblance to the distinct coppery tones that are found in the Ruahine Ranges that buffet the region where this cheese is made. With a luxurious creaminess, this cheese has an unctuous mouth feel, which is punctuated by the slight bitterness of the washed rind.

Pair with:

A small amount of a sweet fruit paste.

Wine / Beer match:

Washed rind cheeses often have more savoury and farmyard type flavours, pair with an aromatic Chenin Blanc for a great match.
