BERRY’S CREEK – FISH CREEK (Boonwurrung), VIC
‘Tarwin Blue’ – blue, cow’s milk
Aged for a minimum of two months. Highly awarded (most recently scoring Silver at the World Cheese Awards in Spain), this is one of Berry’s Creek’s flagship varieties. Gorgeous earthy qualities in this blue. Lovely smooth, buttery texture with a lasting intensity. Barry is uncompromising when it comes to quality. Located in South Gippsland the team at Berry’s Creek work tirelessly to produce some of our favourite cheese here at the Mould Collective
VANNELLA CHEESE – SYDNEY (EORA), NSW
‘Smoked Buffalo Mozzarella’ – stretched curd, buffalo milk
With a thick skin and a tender, milky heart this Buffalo Mozzarella is then cold wood-smoked which creates a yellow tinge on the skin. Super smooth and rich with hits of smoky sweetness and a lingering tang. Hailing from Puglia (Italy’s home of Burrata), Vito came to Australia 1999, later launching Vannella with his family in 2004 in a bid to share some dinky-di Southern Italian culture with his adopted home. Heck, they even moved to Cairns to get up-close with the buffalo dairy herds there. Uniting Italian tradition and proudly Australian dairy with delicious results – we’ve got a whole lotta amore for Vannella.
DREAMING GOAT – MACEDON RANGES (WOIWORUNG), VIC NEW TO THE COLLECTIVE
‘Pressed Chevre’ – fresh, goat’s milk
Delicate pillows of goat curd which are salted and gently pressed. With a spreadable texture these squares are then preserved in oil. Fresh, vibrant and a little tangy. A perfect example of goat milk at its finest. Back in 2012, the couple behind Dreaming Goat, Sarah and Daniel Ajzner, took a year off to volunteer on a goat farm and promptly fell in love with goat life. Not long after, their dream of owning their very own small-scale goat dairy became a reality – in the beautiful Macedon Ranges, not far from Melbourne.
HUNTERBELLE – HUNTER VALLEY (WONNARUA), NSW
‘Red Rouda’ – hard, cow’s milk
Rouda or Gouda? It’s all Dutch to us. After milking cows on the banks of the Hunter River for six generations, the dairy-loving Chesworth family took over Hunter Belle Dairy in 2008. Firm on the bite and a vibrant (natural) red in colour, the Red Rouda is an Aussie twist on the Dutch classic, Gouda. Beautiful butterscotch-caramelised notes with a nutty bite. Pair thin slices with some crisp green apple for a truly textural sweet-savoury afternoon snack.
