Hunter Belle Cheese Tasting Notes

IT’S ALL IN THE MILK
Hunter Belle exclusively uses Brown Swiss cows’ milk sourced fresh from a local family at Singleton. Brown Swiss milk is excellent for cheese production, high in fats and full of protein which allows us to make our beautiful artisan products with bold flavour and creamy consistency.
