Mount Shadwell is a small volcanic mountain a few kilometres to the North of our factory in Mortlake, Western Victoria. The Mount Shadwell cheese is based on the Mousseron cheese originally developed by Christian Nicollet who operated a cheese factory in the Jura Mountains on the Swiss/French border. Christian visited Australia in 2013 and made some limited quantities of this cheese for Bruce and the overall result is a sweet nuttiness and an unusual combination of rich earthy notes. The Mount Shadwell cheese fits somewhere between Gruyere and Raclette but has a flavour and texture characteristics all of its own.
