Top 8 Cheese Boards in Adelaide

Guest Blog by Emma Kate Co. 

A day after first meeting the Adelady girls, they had me on the job. My mission? Review the best cheese boards that Adelaide has to offer. Recruit a friend, if possible (and let’s be honest, that was never going to be a problem… cheese fancier friends are a prerequisite in my world).

Over the course of the next few weeks, I was presented with a delightful display of Queso (Spanish), Fromage (French), Formaggio (Italian) and cheese (Australian). I became accustomed to some new adjectives and dairy descriptors – penicillium candidum rind. Salty and strong. Washed. Blue. Chalky interiors and ‘hay’ aromas (yes, really!) Cheese coma. Mouth melty (okay, so maybe I made that one up).

I’ve sampled Taleggio Luigi Guffanti Dop from Italy, and Queso Mezcla Curado, from La Mancha, Spain. Hola! And Ossau Iraty, a french variety I was already quite familiar with thanks to Waitrose in London (and the french ex-boyfriend). Basically, it was all delicous. And in case you were wondering – the ex boyfriend? Not so much.

So here’s a curation of Adelaide’s best on offer. The long of the short of it? Go to all of them.
