Vegetarian Food - Nimbin Natural Elbo Style Cheese
May 17th 2012 05:34
Nimbin, in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales, is home to the Nimbin Mardi Grass and well known for alternative lifestyles and vegetarianism. Norco dairy co-operative in nearby Lismore recognised the nationwide demand for an alternative vegetarian cheese and named their product Nimbin Natural.
Nimbin Natural Elbo style cheese is a soft cheese with a smooth velvety texture and a mild flavour. Elbo is a Danish style cows' milk cheese, similar to Samsø, with a creamy yellow colour and irregular holes made by gas bubbles.
Nimbin Natural is made with vegetarian enzymes, Acidophilus cultures, reduced salt and fresh dairy milk from contented cows nourished on the rich pastures of the Northern Rivers.
The Norco Co-operative was established in 1895, and has grown from a regional dairy co-operative to a national force in manufacturing. Based in Lismore, Norco is now one of the largest dairy processors in NSW, producing milk, cheese and ice cream under its own label and on a contract basis for some of Australia’s leading brands.
Nimbin Natural Elbo style cheese is suitable for serving as is on cheese platters, in salads or on sandwiches, but it also melts well, making it ideal for pizzas and pastas, for my smoked cod with three cheese sauce or even lobster mornay.
