Named for the blustering, westerly winds that blow across King Island, Australia—where this cheese is made—Roaring Forties Blue is a flavorful cow’s milk cheese. The rindless wheels mature in black wax, which keeps them moist and ensures a smooth, creamy texture. The flavor profile—sweet, grassy, and nutty—benefits from the uniquely rich, sweet milk that results from the cows’ year-round consumption of the island’s verdant and salty pastures. A buttery port will complement this blue’s complexity.
