Milawa is a highly awarded cheese company located in North Eastern Victoria, close to the town of Bright at the foot of the Victorian Alps.
King River Gold is a speciality washed rind cheese developed by David Brown at Milawa Cheese Company. It is the younger sister cheese to the famous and very bold Milawa Gold, a robust and pungent large round in the style of a French Munster Cheese.
King River Gold has a soft smooth texture and a more subtle taste than Milawa Gold. Hand made and gently washed every few days in a special cultured brine solution that introduces "good" bacteria, B-Linens, to the surface of the cheese. This allows the cheese to ripen from the outside to the centre of the paste, and in the process adds earthy, complex flavours and a characteristic aroma.
It's a great introduction to the washed rind style as it has a delicate fruity washed rind flavour but the aroma and flavour is not over powering.
