Rahu: The Eclipse in Cheese Form
A One‑of‑a‑Kind Artisan Creation
This cheese is unlike any other. It blends the rustic French Cantal with the smooth Dutch Gouda, then finishes with a bold coat of coconut ash. The result is striking: a jet‑black surface that reveals a pale cream interior when cut. This vivid contrast makes Rahu a centerpiece on any table.
Flavor Journey
The taste is layered yet approachable. Crisp apple and gentle coconut notes mix with buttery richness. A hint of semi‑sharp cheddar adds balance. Its medium flavor suits casual shoppers and delights seasoned cheese lovers. Each wheel weighs a minimum of 240 grams, perfect for sharing or enjoying alone.
Inspired by Balinese Mythology
The name Rahu comes from Balinese legend. Rahu is a celestial being who tried to swallow the sun and moon, creating eclipses. His story speaks of mystery, power, and transformation. The cheese reflects this theme of light and shadow. Its black rind and cream interior echo the myth, offering both boldness and delicacy.
Perfect Pairings
Pair Rahu with non‑alcoholic drinks that elevate its character. Sparkling water with citrus lifts its buttery notes. Chilled coconut water mirrors the ash coating and tropical flavor. Non‑alcoholic apple cider highlights its fruit tones. Herbal teas such as chamomile or lemongrass soften the semi‑sharp edge. Fresh juices — mango, guava, or pineapple — enhance its vivid taste and appearance. These pairings make Rahu versatile for daily enjoyment or festive occasions.
