Cheese Heroes - Kapiti Kikorangi Blue

To celebrate the launch of The Kapiti Cheese Society, we're featuring a different favourite from the Kapiti collection each month. We start with an aged beauty...

In a world obsessed with youth, there are some things that undeniably get better with age. Taste is one of them, and once aquired, a liking for blue cheese can quickly become an obsession. 

Kapiti's Kikorangi blue cheese is richly coloured with an even web of dark blue veins that run through a creamy golden curd. Its buttery texture makes it ideal for spreading on oat crackers, and it quickly becomes the star of any cheeseboard.  

To get the most of this award-winning cheese, serve at room temperature and slice with a soft cheese knife with holes, to prevent the cheese from sticking. If you find yourself with leftovers (which is unlikely!) store separately from other cheeses in foil to ensure its flavour doesn't taint them. 

If you love cheese, sign up to the Kapiti Cheese Society (for free!) to receive special offers, complimentary samples, recipe suggestions and invitations to exclusive events. Join before Sunday 14th December 2014 and you'll be in the draw to win one of five Kapiti gift hampers and a limited edition Dick Frizzell print valued at $1,500.
