Airedale | Local Cheese From Otago, New Zealand | TasteAtlas

Airedale

Airedale is a New Zealander cheese made from cow's milk. Underneath its waxed rind, this semi-soft cheese has a smooth texture with curd holes which appear occasionally. The flavors are salty, tangy, and milky, while the aromas are intense and grassy.


It is often said that Airedale melts on your tongue. The cheese is named after the eponymous farming district and its place of production, located in North Otago's rolling lowlands. It is recommended to pair it with Zinfandel wine.
