all about: Jindi Brie

soft andCentred

FRESH TIPbrie should be served at roomtemperature to ensure fullflavour of the cheese can beappreciated. remove from thefridge approximately 1-2 hoursprior to serving. enjoy with alight-bodied wine such as apinot grigio or verdehlowith a sweetness which willcounteract the richness ofthe brie.

heesemaker Franck

Beaurain’s first day at

Jindi Cheese was not

one he will easily forget.

“It was Valentine’s Day

but it was just one week after the Black

Saturday fires so everything was black

and dry. Coming from the green of New

Zealand, it was a big shock,” he says.

Luckily the Jindi factory at Jindivick,

in the rolling hills of Victoria’s west

Gippsland region, was spared from the

inferno and production was soon back

in swing — something Franck believes

is due to the resilience of the local

community.

“They are very determined and

dedicated, the people here. There’s no

way I can make good cheese with poor

milk, but these Gippsland farmers are

very good,” he says admiringly.

After spending more than twenty years

making cheese, the French-born Franck

is still fascinated by his craft. “I like my

food and wine,” the 47-year-old says

with a laugh. “And I’m still not bored by

cheesemaking. I find it fascinating that

so many cheeses can be made from the

one thing: milk.”

Franck

In the year since Franck took the role of

Group Executive Manager and Head of

Cheese Making at Jindi, eight new cheeses

have been released — and two received

three gold awards at the prestigious annual

Guild of Fine Food World Cheese Awards.

“It’s very important to give the customers

new things every year, Woolworths is

also very keen on that,” he explains. “I’ve

worked closely with Woolworths over the

years when developing new products and

they are very helpful.”

With such a range to choose from, what

does Franck like to serve at his table?

“It’s hard for me to say I have a favourite

cheese,” he says. “But I like to get at least

four different ones on a platter.”

And in the typical French way, cheese is

always served after the meal, not before,

in the Beaurain household!

Baked Jindi BriePrep 5 min | Cook 25 min | Serves 2

Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut 2 x 125 wedges Jindi

brie in half horizontally through the centre. Cut 2 partially thawed sheets frozen puff

pastry in half from corner to corner. Wrap each portion of brie in pastry, trimming where

necessary and brushing edges with beaten egg yolk to help seal. Place parcels onto

baking tray. Brush top with egg yolk and sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for 25

minutes until golden. Serve at once with a salad and a glass of riesling or sauvignon blanc.

FRESH TIP: You could add a spoonful of onion marmalade or tomato chutney to the

parcel for extra flavour.

The centre of Brie cheese softens with maturity.A soft bulge signals that it’s ready to eat. The rindshould be clean and free from hard edges or cracks.

Mornings are a struggle in mosthouseholds, so every minute in thebathroom matters. Here’s how to lookperfectly polished in less time than ittakes to make toast.

10 minutes to go...Get your base right first – smooth, even-looking skin

instantly gives you a youthful glow. Smooth on foundation,

concentrating on the T-Zone (nose, forehead and chin) to

cover up redness or blotchy spots. Spend 60 seconds

blending well so there are no obvious lines around the jawline

or temple. Dab concealer under eyes to hide dark circles.

7 minutes to go...Keep eyeshadow simple – blend a neutral colour over

the whole lid and, for extra eye-popping effect, use an

eyeshadow brush to dab a gold or silver-toned shadow in the

corner of the eye (where it meets the nose). Finish with a coat

of your favourite mascara.

4 minutes to go...A flush of blush high on the cheekbone is like a mini

facelift – an apricot tone suits most skin types. If you

prefer sun-kissed skin, use a bronzer instead.

2 minutes to go...Slick on lip gloss – it adds colour but doesn’t require a

steady hand. For a longer-lasting result, use a nude-toned

lip liner first to help the gloss last longer.
