Oen is finally back online!

Oen (from the word oenology) is our washed-rind, cow’s milk cheese - washed in Pinot Noir before being wrapped in vine leaves to be matured.

The vine leaves protect the cheese and create a moist surface which encourages the flavour development. When mature, Oen's rind becomes pungent and the texture becomes soft and fudgey.
