Natural Rind Cheese

Natural Rind Cheese

Also known as dry-rind cheeses, these cheeses ripen slowly. With barely formed rinds they are mild, sweet and nutty. As the rinds toughen, the flavours deepen into floral and pungent notes.

Saint Paulin Canada

This semi-soft cheese is milder than its Oka cousin, and melts well in pasta sauces and recipes. Not long aged, Saint-Paulin also pairs well with fruit. Not to be mistaken for its relative from France.

Dofino Havarti Canada

Dofino Havarti varieties have been produced in Canada for over thirty years. Denninger’s carries several different Dofino flavours and varieties of Havarti, including Havarti with Dill, Creamy Havarti, and light Havartis. Havarti is a cheese board staple and Dofino are the masters of it.

Beemster Graskaas Netherlands Limited Edition

This cheese is made from special spring milk, produced after the cows have had their fill of grazing on new spring grass. This is the creamiest milk of the year and it is used to make this special edition cheese, of which only 2000 wheels are crafted each year.

Raclette Switzerland

This is a semi-firm cheese made from raw cow’s milk that is ideal for melting. In fact, its name comes from the French verb “racler”, which means “to scrape”, as the melted cheese is usually served by scraping it onto bowls of potatoes. Crackers will do nicely.

A raw milk Swiss cheese ripened on small spruce planks for three months. Shaving using a girolle is recommended for serving in order to experience its full flavour.

Featuring a bold, nutty flavour, this cheese goes well with traditional heavy Irish dishes such as stew. Made from the milk of grass-fed cows, this cheese is natural and often compared to Samso or Fontina.
