The Apostle Whey Cheesemaker Pack!
"Fresh, Farmhouse Favourites"
We love working with talented cheesemakers with a strong passion for what they do, the environment and their animals. Apostle Whey Cheese is a standout. With a long history in dairy farming, they made the transition to cheesemaking two decades ago and boy we are so glad they did! Following traditional recipes and using milk from their farm, you get a flavour of tradition, mixed with the unique twist the Great Ocean Road region delivers. In this special pack, we include four of their best cheeses for you to enjoy.
Who is Apostle Whey?
Just a short drive from the Twelve Apostles, Apostle Whey Cheese is a big tourist drawcard for the local region. Apostle Whey Cheese is home to an array of award-winning, delectable cheeses - all handmade! They use milk from their herd of Aussie Red/ Jersey cows to craft the cheeses. It's easy to see that the business is a labour of love that combines two of Julian and Dianne Benson passions – sustainable farming and boutique, artisan produce.
What are the cheeses*?
This pack includes four cheeses that will thrill you and your tastebuds - every single one has incredible flavour and texture.
BLUE: Bay of Matyrs
Milk 
| Vegetarian

SOFT: Loch Ard Gorgeous
Milk | Vegetarian
If this cheese carries the name in honour of the ship we don’t know, but what we do know is that it’s absolutely delicious! Loch Ard Gorgeous lives up to it’s name, being a gorgeous Normandy style Cam! It has a velvety exterior and an indulgent, buttery interior. We suggest leaving this deliciousness to warm up to room temperature before enjoyed, that’s when it’s at it’s oozy best!
__
HARD: Plain Havarti
Milk | Vegetarian
This Plain Havarti style cheese is the base cheese for Apostle Whey Cheese's Heytesbury Harvest range. It won the highest-scoring semi-hard cheese at the DIAA awards in Melbourne 2014. It is a very smooth, creamy cheese – tending towards cheddar flavour as it matures. Based off a Danish recipe this semi-hard cheese has a very smooth mouthfeel and mild flavour.
__
STINKY: Grotto
Milk | Vegetarian
Grotto starts off as a camembert but is washed daily in a secret recipe brine! That is how the colour develops, a beautiful orange tone! Being a stinky cheese it has the characteristic smell, but don’t be scared, as the saying goes ‘the stinkier, the better’!
* Cheeses may change without notice if they become unavailable. In this case, we will substitute with another great cheese.
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
