Flavoured Cheese

Flavoured cheese is made by adding additional ingredients to subtly change the flavour. There are two ways that the flavours are added. The extra ingredients can either be added into the milk or curd during the process of making the cheese, or the flavours can be added to the outside rind once the wheels have been formed.

Most flavour added cheeses are well-known hard cheeses with mixed fruits, spices or herbs, and shaped into a round. These cheeses are usually hard or crumbly cheeses. The key to a good quality flavoured cheese is not to let the flavouring take away from the quality of the original cheese. The flavourings should add a different dimension to the cheese
