Smelly Cheese Co
Section28 Monforte
Kym Masters went to the Haut Jura region of France to study the most popular cheese in that country, Comté. What he loved about the cheese production there was its great diversity – there are different varieties, depending on which valley the cheese is made in, that are recognised in their own right, such as Beaufort and Gruyère, Abondance. Kym returned to set up Section28 in Woodside, South Australia, where he is hand-making uniquely Australian cheeses that references this European heritage and cheese making traditions while having a style and flavour that are distinctly their own to showcase the milk of the Adelaide Hills. Monforte is made in a medium wheel that takes six months to mature. It has a well-balanced full flavour which the maker describes as “a herbaceous taste with roasted hazelnut undertones and an umami back flavour.”
