Old vs New World cheeses
Many of the great classics of the cheese world come from France. Like good wine, a good cheese is the product of its terroir - the climate, soil, and other growing conditions combining to give a unique, local flavour. For 250 years, the New World has tried to copy Old World cheese styles, but with little success as they ignore the effect of terroir.
In New Zealand, we have access to an increasing range of artisan-produced cheeses with their own flavours and character. Perhaps these express forms of New Zealand terroir?
Join Juliet and l'Association Française de Hawkes Bay for an afternoon of cheese tasting and discover for yourself which cheeses New Zealand makes well and which French cheeses cannot be copied.
