CHEESE OF THE MONTH Yarra Valley Dairy - Yering
Yarra Valley Dairy is located in one of Australia ’ s premium dairy and wine regions ; a picturesque part of Victoria only an hour ’ s drive from Melbourne . The dairy sits alongside a 100-year-old milking shed on a property known as ‘ Hubertswood ’ which is owned by the Mooney family and takes its name from one of the valley ’ s early settlers and vignerons , Hubert de Castella . The award-winning range takes inspiration from the great cheeses of Europe , using locally sourced milk to produce uniquely Australian cheeses . Inspired by the famous Normand cheese , Camembert , Yering is handcrafted at the dairy using local cow ’ s milk , cultures and traditional animal rennet , to produce a savoury flavour with classic brassica notes . It has a silky texture and buttery mouthfeel when fully ripe .
CRUNCH TIME !
Apple season has started !
The fresh , sweet , crisp , mouth watering taste of a Royal Gala Apple signals the start of the apple season ! Royal Galas are the first apples to be picked followed by a limited season of Jonathan apples .
Royal Galas originated in New Zealand by crossing Golden Delicious and Kidd ’ s Orange varieties . It was referred to as Royal Gala after Queen Elizabeth II declared her preference for it . Galas are dense and crisp in texture .
The Jonathan apple was first discovered in 1826 as chance seedling on the farm of Philip Rick in Woodstock , New York . The fine textured flesh of the Jonathon apple is creamy yellow in colour with a crisp bite and lots of juice . Its flavour is mildly sweet with a tart tang and subtle hints of spice .
SELECTING : When selecting apples in-store , look for fruit with good colour and a sweet smell .
STORING : When you get your Apples home , always keep them in the fridge as they will stay fresh and crisp for longer . If you prefer your apples at room temperate simply pop a few in your fruit bowl in the morning and they ’ ll be ready to go by snack time .
ENJOYING : Apples are the perfect go-to snack – you can easily grab them on-the-go and they are an easy lunchbox option for hungry kids or adults . You can even make DIY apple chips that store well and are delicious to crunch on .
PREVENT BROWNING : Why do apples brown ? When an apple is cut into pieces , the white flesh is exposed to oxygen in the air . The apple flesh turns brown when it reacts to the oxygen , a process known as “ enzymatic browning ”. The name ‘ enzymatic browning ’ comes from the enzyme in the fruit , known as polyphenol oxidase ( PPO ), reacting with the oxygen in the air to turn the fruit brown .
To help stop apple slices from browning , try one of these handy hacks :
• Brush or dip sliced apples in lemon or fruit juice ( such as lemon , lime pineapple or orange juice ). The acidic juice will slow the oxidisation keep and add sweet tang to the fruit .
• Cut an apple in segments and then tie it back together with an to reduce their exposure to oxygen . Not only is it super simple , it also adds a ‘ fun-factor ’ to any lunchbox . You can also do this with spiralised apples .
• Store a cut apple in an airtight container in the fridge to slow the reaction – sometimes the simple techniques are the best .
• When preparing a fruit salad , pair your apples with acidic fruit , like mandarin segments , to keep the flesh white and crunchy .
• Or whenever possible , simply chop your apples just before serving .
