Nick Haddow has spent almost a decade travelling the world learning the craft of making cheese. After gathering traditional recipes and techniques Nick decided to make a life on Bruny Island with his partner Leoni, where they began making their own cheese. Nick calls himself a 'traditionalist' and he's passionate about the old way of making and maturing cheese.
C² is the sort of cheese found throughout the mountains of France and northern Italy. A classic cooked curd cheese made in traditional wooden hoops. C² matures for 6-12 months, during which time it develops a sweet aroma and a mildly nutty flavor. The rind is wiped every week to encourage the surface bacteria that provide this cheese with much of its integrity. This product is suitable for vegetarians.
