Our Cheese
"I want to encourage people to explore their own tastebuds."
- Victoria McClurg, Director
With a range of distinctive cheese, ranging from cows milk and goats milk, Victoria and her team work under strict hygienic conditions in a spotlessly clean environment, demanded by their distinctive artisan cheese styles. The production facilities adjoin the Cheesecellar, with a live stream playing in the Cheesecellar so we can show you easily how our cheese is made.
Fresh cheese
Barossa Feta - 150gm tub
Soft and creamy on the palate with a slight crumbly texture and sharp zesty zing. Great in salads, dishes that call for ricotta, or marinated in your own oil and spice selection. Treat yourself to a dry apple cider for a delicious pairing.

La Dame (aged 4 years)
Developed through the desire to extend the longevity of our goat milk supply through the winter months, this cheese is produced using aromatic, swiss style cultures. Peter Gilmore says, "The thing about the Aged La Dame that really struck us as judges was the incredible intensity of flavour and a really unusual, crumbly texture. It's a style of cheese that I haven't really seen made before in Australia, let alone with such skill. The cheese really is quite unique and makes for a special addition to a comprehensive cheese plate; because of its intensity, it stands out and is able to stand on its own".
