Orange Blossom and Triple Brie

Opposites attract. This is definitely true with these two.

Amberhill Honey’s bees who have been lucky enough to forage in Australia’s Riverland orange groves produce this incredible early season orange blossom honey. Its delicate, neroli perfumed aroma is balanced perfectly with a light, citrus body that tastes just like a warm afternoon in late spring. (Cheesy, I know) …

… speaking of which… Hunter Belle Dairy has created a Triple Brie with a black garlic centre. Genius! This creamy, heady, umami burst, when paired with the bright, floral honey with a citrus twist of the Riverland Orange Blossom, creates a completely new, but perfectly balanced flavour.

Umami and citrus flavours are frequently married in many cuisines like Japanese or Mexican. I’ve used this principle here, and strongly recommend you try it out for yourself.

Farming has been in the blood of both families for several generations, you can taste it in the quality of their produce. Nai continues a long-standing family tradition of beekeeping from their home base in the heart of South Australia’s Riverland. The Chesworth family have kept dairy herds on the banks of New South Wales’ Hunter River for six generations and turned their attention to cheese making a couple of decades ago.

Please continue to support local Australian farmers and producers where you can.
