LE MENU - DESSERT - CHEESE

BÛCHE JACQUIN DE MONTRESOR
Goat cheese from the Loire Valley region, it’s flavour is rich and creamy with an increased nuttiness. As the cheese ripens the rind develops a mottled blue mould growth, and the dry creamy centre softens to a smooth and very fine textured.
$
GRAND CONQUÉRANT CAMEMBERT
From the Normandy Region. It’s strong aromatic hints of wet straw, brassica and apples are a reminder of why this authentic cheese has become a proud symbol of French cheese-making skills.
$
ROQUEFORT PAPILLON
From the Midi Pyrénées region where all the worlds Roquefort are aged. Roquefort’s natural rind is shiny, with the interior richly marbled with bluey-green mould. The flavour is delicate and sweet with a rich-buttery, slightly spicy finish.
$
COMTÉ
(24 MONTHS MATURATION) Comté is the king of French cheeses. During a 24-month maturation, the 35kg wheels of cheese develop an amazing depth of flavour – the underlying sweet note is accompanied by a rich flavour of roasted nuts and subtle creamy, yeasty finish.
