Mainland Cheese

Mainland is a New Zealander cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. The cows are fed a diet of high-quality grass while grazing outdoors, resulting in a golden yellow color and sweet, creamy notes of the cheese. There are four types of Mainland cheese: sharp Cheddar (rich and sharp flavors), vintage Cheddar (strong), organic Cheddar (subtle and mild), and Egmont (nutty).

The Cheddars should be paired with wines such as Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, while Egmont should be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Syrah, and sparkling wines.
