Banon
This delicious little French cheese is wrapped in chestnut leaves soaked in wine or eau-de-vie and tied with raffia. Moist, nutty and reminiscent of white wine, but with age the rind softens until the cheese runs out revealing layers of character.

Cabrales
The slow ageing in cool airy cellars with high humidity allows the blue veins to spread thickly through the cheese giving the texture a crumbly richness. The cheese has a strong aroma and a lovely salty tang that really bites the tongue.
