DO IT YOUR WHEY

Get your curds & whey going and enter your own cheese in the 82nd Red Hill Agricultural and Horticultural Show to be held at the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday, March 26th 2011.

Red Hill Cheese collaborates with the Show organisers to provide a forum for home cheesemakers to exhibit their efforts in friendly competition with others. Have your cheese tasted and commented upon by experienced cheese judges and maybe win the coveted title of Champion Non-Commercial Cheese of the Red Hill Show!

There is an amazing quality and range of cheese being produced by home cheese makers, some of whom have attended cheesemaking workshops at Red Hill Cheese and have gone on to create sensational cheese in their home kitchens. We would also encourage entries from people who have been making cheese to old family recipes - perhaps handed down over generations - a chance to meet others with a similar interest.

The rules are simple - non-commercial cheesemakers must enter at least 100gms of any style of cheese. It doesn't matter what style of cheese you make, bring it along and the judges will categorize the entries prior to making their deliberations.

One of the best success stories of Mornington Peninsula produce is that of Red Hill Cheese. Jan and Trevor Brandon started making cheese in April 2000 and now employ 8 part-time staff producing 18 styles of cheese from sheep, goat and cow milk. One of their most popular is the sublime, award-winning "Misty Valley" - a brie-style goat cheese. Somehow they manage to keep up with the huge demand for their cheese without compromising their handmade production values.

The Cheesery 'Cellar Door' Shop at 81 William Road, Red Hill Cheese is open weekends and public holidays from 12 noon to 5pm. Trevor, an ex-science teacher, specialises in hand made traditional styles with plenty of flavour.

If you want general information about the Red Hill Show or would like to receive a Schedule, telephone (03) 5989 2357 or e-mail.
