Our tribute to the everyday Bengali kitchen staple, Panch Phoron (a unique whole five spice mix) that adds an explosion of flavour and aroma to this washed curd cheese. For those of you who are familiar with it, be prepared to be hit by it in the most unexpected way. And for the uninitiated it is a must try, just for its unfamiliarity and uniqueness.

Process – Washed cheese curds mixed with Panch Phoron (whole spice mixture of fenugreek, fennel, cumin, nigella & wild celery [radhuni in Bengali] seeds) pressed and then brined. Aged for 3 months and above.

Flavour Profile – A complex profile with each spice bringing in its distinct aroma and flavour. The smell of fenugreek hits first followed by wild celery and cumin. The mouthfeel feels different every time depending on the spice you bite on. While radhuni feels pungent and grassy with a sharp celery like aroma, nigella is sharp and cumin mildly spicy and fragrant, fenugreek has slightly bitter notes, fennel has its unique sweet aroma and taste. The overall mouthfeel is creamy and buttery with this amazing explosion of flavours, that almost feels like a treasure hunt inside your palate.

Serving suggestions – Great snacking cheese. Best served with crackers/ bread, tart fruits and jam on platters/ cheeseboards.

Pairing – Cider or dry red wines
