John Lethlean’s recommendations for an AFL cheese Platter –

Long Paddock’s Silver Wattle 

The Mill, Castlemaine

This lactic set cheese uses organic milk from a small herd of a near by farm which lends a beautiful initial citrus flavour to the cheese followed by a delectable lactic sweetness with a soft and fudge like texture. Not quite a Brie but a beautiful soft cheese reminiscent of St Marcellin of France. It goes well with sparkling whites, gentle aromatics and even Chardonnay. 

Stone & Crow’s Nightwalker 

Yarra Valley

This is a very addictive gentle washed rind cheese that won’t scare anyone. It’s flavour is gentle with a very moreish sensation on the middle of the palate that has you reaching for more and more. It’s very creamy without being heavy and works well with a bbq. Perfect with cold climate pinot noir 

Berrys Creek Riverine Blue

Gippsland 

This buffalo milk blue is the best blue cheese produced in Australia and right now with late winter milk, it’s flavour is reminiscent of raw almonds with a gentle splash of blue spice. The perfect blue to introduce people to the world of blue vein cheeses. Pull out something sweet or fortified with this one for celebrating after the victory
