Cheese = yes, please. So we were all ears when the World Cheese Awards proclaimed the ‘best cheese for 2022′ yesterday – it’s Le Gruyère AOP surchoix, entered by Swiss cheesemaker Vorderfultigen. Usually, these high-falutin’ European delights are something we Aussies can only dream of, but you can get your hands on this one here. The annual event was held in Wales after Ukraine had to back out for obvious reasons… But that didn’t dampen the mood or smell in the room, as 4,434 cheeses from 42 countries were assessed. Judges described the winner as a “really refined, hand-crafted cheese that melts on the tongue and has notes of herbs, fruits and leather.” Leather is not a taste profile we’d pick, but who are we to argue?
