Hard Cheese

Do you have a vampire problem? then this is the cheese for you!!!
Looking powerful in a black wax and just like a garlic bread this is simply delicious but is not at all an overpowering Garlic flavour.

Named after mount watkin (Hikaroroa) that is a 616-metre peak located north-west of Waikouaiti. The peak was originally named Hikaroroa, and was renamed after a pioneer Methodist missionary, Reverend James Watkin in the 1840s.

wax enrobed in Black and will weigh between 1.2 and 1.3kgs as a whole cheese

The wax keeps the moisture in the cheese during the curing process and stops the intrusion of unwanted surface bacteria.

Garlic cheese needs to be turned about once a week during the curing process so a very careful watch is kept on its development. We sell these cheeses at different levels of ageing.

It is slightly drier inside with a soft buttery flavour.

Serving and Storage

The wax is easily removed and it will cut well with little wastage. Probably best to be given as a wedge for people to cut from.
