CHEESE OF THE MONTH Charleston Jersey Brie

Charleston Jersey Brie is a rich flavoursome brie style cheese made from Jersey cow milk, sourced from the Adelaide Hills. The unique flavour and development of the Charleston Jersey Brie is influenced by the co-existence of different moulds on its surface. These moulds ripen the cheese from the outside to the centre over a period of about six weeks from the make date. When the cheese is ripe it is soft and creamy in texture and develops rich complex“ farm yard” and mushroom characteristics. As it ages the Charleston may develop some brownish spots on the outer surface. As the cheese is free of any preservatives, some discolouration on the outer rind is treated as a natural part of its maturation. Should this occur you will notice that the flavours will be stronger and more distinctive. The Charleston Jersey Brie is ideally suited on a cheese plate with fresh bread and seasonal fruit. For full flavour and texture development, serve at room temperature.

Scrumptious chestnuts

Chestnuts have a delicate, unique flavour and a roastpotato like texture making them perfect for using in a range of sweet and savoury dishes.

Some varieties are easier to peel than others, check with your greengrocer. One kilogram of chestnuts yields approximately 700g of shelled and peeled chestnuts. Cook, peel and freeze chestnuts so you have a ready supply on hand to add to your favourite meals. Choose Select medium to large, firm, glossy deep-brown chestnuts that feel heavy in size. Fresh chestnuts must be cooked before using. Preparation To prevent the chestnuts from bursting while cooking, cut a small cross on the flat side of the chestnut shell. If boiling, cut the chestnuts in half across the width of the chestnut before cooking. Peel Once cooked, peel off the tough shell and papery thin skin underneath, it is important to peel chestnuts while they are still warm( they can be tricky to peel once cooled). Remove from heat, wrap in a clean tea-towel for 5-10 minutes, and then peel quickly. If boiled, leave chestnuts in the hot water removing one at a time to peel. Freezing Cooked chestnuts freeze well and keep for 6 months. Cook fresh chestnuts then peel and place cooled chestnuts in snap lock bags and freeze. Defrost.
