Australian Specialist Cheese Show, Melbourne
22-23rd August 2009

"Say Cheese" as you Prepare Your Palate
for an Epicurean Extravaganza!

It's time for Melbourne to Say Cheese on Sunday 23rd August 2009 as the finest Australian specialist cheeses are showcased at the Crown Palladium Room.

Red Hill Cheese will be showcasing their products together with 30 cheese producers from all over Australia. Meet the cheesemakers to talk and taste the best of Australian cheese. This indulgent experience will be yours for the sampling with over 150 award-winning specialist cheeses on offer - this will include the 2009 ASCA Champion & Gold Medal cheeses, to be announced at the official Australian Specialist Cheese Show presentation ceremony the previous evening. If you are keen to really immerse yourself in the cheese scene, mingle with cheesemakers and enjoy award winning cheeses at the same time, you are also invited to the presentation dinner on Saturday 15th.

During Saturday, judges from all over the country will have the difficult task of deciding which cheese will take out the coveted prizes. Come along on Sunday and see if you agree with the judges as you become a cheese connoisseur for the day at the Public Tasting, proudly brought to you by the Australian Specialist Cheesemakers' Association. Take advantage of a unique opportunity to match these award-winning cheeses with fine wine from renowned Australian winery Mount Langi Ghiran and boutique beer from Gippsland's Grand Ridge Brewery. Australia's top cheese accompaniments will also be provided by Kurrajong Kitchens.

You will also have the chance to participate in a Master Class on the art of cheese and wine matching and can also vote for your favourite cheese in the highly regarded People's Choice Award, with winners announced on the day.

Together with live music performances and the chance to speak to Australia's cream of the crop cheesemakers, clear your palate, and prepare for a gastronomic adventure.
