A Cheesy Delight at Awassi Cheesery in Lockyer Valley
More Than Just a Cheesery
Awassi Cheesery isn't your typical cheese shop. It's a purpose-built haven complete with a milking parlour and a farm gate outlet nestled in an avocado grove. Here, you can relax among gentle Awassi sheep, savoring a cheese platter in the fresh air. It’s all about enjoying the slower pace of life while indulging in some farm-fresh cheeses.
Truly Farmstead Cheese
What makes Awassi Cheesery stand out is its dedication to the true farmstead cheese-making process. This means the cheese is made from milk only from the sheep raised right there on the farm. From milking to cheese-making, every step is handled on-site with the utmost care and attention to detail. This ensures that each bite of cheese is as fresh and flavourful as possible.
The Cheese Lineup
Prepare your taste buds for a range of delightful cheeses, each with its own unique twist. The hero of the lineup is the "Grantham," named affectionately after Di and Dave’s hometown. You’ll also find an exquisite Awassi camembert, a spicy pepper pecorino, and a feta that’s simply perfect when paired with a juicy cherry tomato. And if you're into the latest trends, don’t miss out on trying the Awassi labneh, infused with tantalising flavours like lemon, rosemary and garlic oil, or even a zesty blood orange oil.
Labneh and More
The Awassi labneh is a must-try, especially if Di has whipped up some of her sweet treats using this creamy, versatile cheese. Imagine labneh infused with quality olive oils, making it a perfect spread for your crackers or a dip for your veggies.
The Awassi sheep are known globally for their superb milking qualities, producing milk that is rich in fats and proteins yet low in lactose, making it ideal for high-quality cheese production. This ancient breed adds a historical charm to the cheesery, enhancing the overall experience.
Di and Dave are truly living their cheese dream, and they love sharing it with visitors. Whether you're a cheese connoisseur or just looking for a delightful day out, Awassi Cheesery offers a unique glimpse into the world of artisan cheese-making.
Remember, to keep the farm safe and secure, pets aren't allowed, so make sure to leave your furry friends at home when you visit.
