Trading Places

Say Cheese!

Maria from Emerald Hill Deli is our trader of the month. Maria holds the key to a cheese lover’s heart – a huge cheese fridge, full of hundreds of specialty cheeses, both imported and local. Her range includes Australian cheddars, washed rinds, bries and the smelliest cheeses you could imagine. We suggest you pick up some roquefort and savour it with white grapes, walnuts or a stalk of celery. Accompanied with a light pinot, you’ll feel like you’re in France. We love Maria’s enthusiasm for all things cheesy. She has a wealth of knowledge and recipes to share. Visit her at Emerald Hill Deli in the Deli Aisle, stall 23.

Focus On

Roquefort Cheese

With its creamy texture and velvety cavities, roquefort is a delight for the senses. And it is truly a miracle of nature. According to legend, a Larzac shepherd forgot some ewe’s milk curd on a slice of rye bread in the caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. He found it again several weeks later covered with mould and this divine cheese was born. Spring weather means it’s time for light and breezy meals, so why not try a fresh salad with roquefort. Throw some witlof and endive into a bowl, add some toasted walnuts, a drizzle of walnut oil and red wine vinegar, and pear and roquefort.  So simple and so delicious.
