This water buffalo camembert will make you decide where your loyalties to the name Matilda lay. Tom Waits’ gravelly rasp, or a patriotic love of Australia?
For an elegant dinner party, choose the Waltzing Matilda with a delicate layer of ash under it’s bloomy rind. For the more casual family affair, the Matilda in the Buff will do just fine. Both of these cheeses age beautifully and become supple and creamy in their hinter years (weeks). Honey pairs perfectly with their nutty flavor.
A typical round is between 200 and 220 grams and priced at $9 ($45/kg).
