Our Artisan Cheese Range
At BoatShed Cheese, our range is constantly changing and growing as we add seasonal cheese varieties but there is a core range of wonderful cheese which we list below.
For a full range at any given time, please visit us at one of our markets to taste them all!!
Oasis
This was one of our first cheese varieties and is still one of the most popular. The lactic set goat cheese is very light and fresh in flavour with an almost fluffy interior. The cheese is coated in chives with a little garlic and finished with sun-roasted, dried capsicum.
Persian (marinated) Feta
Our award-winning goat feta is slowly set to enable the full flavour of the goat milk to come through, without being ‘goaty’ or gamey’. The texture of the cheese is smooth and spreadable with a fresh and light flavour. Marinated in robust Australian olive oil scented with French chives and garlic, this Persian feta is avavilable in 300g jars or 1kg tubs for wholesale customers.
Pure Goat Curd
Fresh, light and so full of flavour, our spreadable goat
curd won ‘Champion Cheese’ at the Queensland dairy awards in 2014 and has continued to find fans everywhere. Perfect with smoked salmon, roasted beetroot or just as a low fat spread.
Horizon
This pressed, firm textured goat cheese has a wonderful, mild flavour and features a line of ash through the centre. The rind is subtle and mild flavoured and as it ages, this cheese oozes a little under the rind… my personal favourite!!
Black Pearl
One of our most striking cheeses, this delightful cheese is hand-shaped and the rind features a wonderful wrinkled texture, dusted with French vine ash to give it its dramatic colour and appearance. The interior is fresh and light when young and becomes stronger and more robust (as well as oozy) as it ages.
Driftwood
This classic French style pure goat cheese is shaped into a cylindrical log and is often dusted with ash but can also be left in its natural pale state. It ages beautifully and becomes oozy and intense when a few weeks old but is also delicious when young.
Beach Box Brie
Our luscious brie is made from rich, golden Jersey milk with a subtle and fine white mould rind and It is best when oozy at 4 weeks. Sometimes, we lightly ‘ash’ this cheese which gives it a dark grey rind which is striking against the golden interior of the cheese.
Ships Wheel Brie
This lovely mild brie is a great picnic choice as the cheese is stable in warm weather and retains its shape and delicious, nutty mild flavour. The white mould rind is mild in flavour and the pale interior has the wonderful mushroomy and woodsy aroma and flavour of a slow aged brie.
SunSmoke
One of our most popular retail cheese varieties, our young and lightly smoked cheddar is brined in Smoked Spanish paprika giving the cheese a rich, smooth and smokey flavour and a gorgeous mahogany rind. Sold in 170g portions for retail and 1kg half wheel for our wholesale customers.
Chelsea Blue
This lovely blue cheese features Roquefort spores which create a sweet, nutty flavour in the cheese with a good salty hit to balance the sweetness. It has a crumbly texture which is fabulous for sprinkling over pumpkin risotto or salads but we love it with crunchy pears, walnuts and dessert wine.
Compass Gold
This is our most awarded cheese – rich Jersey milk in a soft, brie like cheese that is ‘washed’ twice weekly with a local pale ale to develop a frangrant, oozy cheese with a robust flavour and slightly sticky rind – typical of ‘washed rind’ cheese.
MoonStone
This ‘tomme’ style cheese is made of pure goat milk and has a natural rind which adds subtle flavours to the cheese. It has a dense texture and is perfect for slicing or grating. We love it with crunchy slices or apple or pear and is wonderful in grilled cheese sandwiches.
