Fairview Blue Cheese Head /- 2.2kg

Description Fairview Blue Cheese Head /- 2.2kg Fairview Blue Cheese Head (Approx. 2.2kg – 3kg RDW) Product Overview The Fairview Blue Cheese Head is a whole wheel of artisanal blue-veined cheese, typically representing either the Blue Rock (Full-flavored, Roquefort-style) or Blue Tower (Creamier, Gorgonzola-style) varieties. Sold as a “Random Dead Weight” (RDW) item, these heads usually average between 2.2kg and 3kg. Crafting the whole head allows the cheese to mature evenly, developing a complex, piquant character and a beautiful aesthetic suitable for high-end deli counters and catering displays. Key Features Whole-Wheel Maturation: Aging the cheese in its full head form ensures a consistent distribution of the Penicillium roqueforti mold, resulting in a balanced flavor from the center to the rind. Rich Jersey Milk Base: Crafted from 100% Jersey cow’s milk from the Fairview farm in Paarl, offering a higher butterfat content and a distinctively creamy, luxurious mouthfeel. Complex Flavor Profile: Delivers a sophisticated balance of salty, savory, and sharp notes with the characteristic “bite” that blue cheese enthusiasts look for. Artisanal Presentation: The whole head features a rustic, natural rind and striking blue-green veining, making it a visual centerpiece for harvest tables and cheese boards. Vegetarian-Friendly: Made with non-animal rennet, ensuring it is suitable for vegetarians, and is both Halaal and Kosher certified.
