Over The Moon Organic Cheese- Albany WA



Juliet Bateman & David Schober are the husband and wife team behind Over The Moon Organic Cheese. Their cheese is produced using organic milk straight from their herd of Swiss Brown Cows.

Denmark Farmhouse Cheese Co- Denmark WA


Denmark! People from the Margaret River will have you think that there is no reason to venture beyond Nannup or Pemberton! ha! Thanks to the invaluble advice of Kate McKenzie-
TradeStart Export Advisor for the WA Government, we came across a real gem! Denmark.
Denmark, described by the locals as 'Margaret River 10 years ago' is a gorgeous town in The Great South West and is located 40 minutes west of Albany. Here you will meet many unassuming foodies in a region that is growing exponentially. One of the most passionate would have to be Ross Lewis of Denmark Farmhouse Cheese!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ross and tasting a wide variety of his produce from cheese, ice cream, fudge, wine, oil, jams, mustards, chutneys and believe it or not, the list goes on. this family owned company is a powerhouse for home made products. More than just a retail outlet, this farmhouse property is worth a trip to for lunch on the vehrander and a chat to the people who make the cheese and run the shop! Now how rare is that?
We will feature Cheese from The Denmark Farmhouse Cheese Company in our upcoming 'Australian Cheese & Wine' class. See the website for more details and to register your interest.

Kytren Cheese- Gidgegannup WA



Meeting with Ken & Margaret Vinicombe; the award winning producers of the 'pure goat milk cheese' company known as 'Kytren' during our cheese reconnaisonce mission around WA was an absolute pleasure!

Ken and Margaret took time out from farming to show us around their imaculate dairy and to introduce us to their herd of goats. Possibly the healthiest goats I have ever seen, this herd enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of The Gidgegannup region and benefit from the Slow Food principals instilled by carers and cheesemakers, Ken & Margaret.

Having learnt their cheese making skills at the neighbouring goat farm owned by Gabriella Kervella, Margaret and Ken have gone on to enjoy a reputation for consitent, high quality products.

We will be featuring Kytren Cheese at our next 'Australian Cheese & Wine' course and will have Kytren Cheese featured in some of our 'What Cheese is That?' classes. See the Events page for more detail.
