Last week I had the honour of judging cheese at Sydney Royal as part of

Over two days we assessed, sniffed, touched & most importantly tasted excellent dairy produce from all over Australia.

I had panels made up of sensory experts, cheesemongers, cheese industry & beverage industry & we were assisted in our judging by a team of stewards and officials who made the whole process run very smoothly.

Very much looking forward to the winners being announced at tonight’s awards ceremony.

Our newest team member & absolute gun Kaitlyn has made her Cheesemas (and beyond) choices:

“Milawa Aged Blue I really love having it with muscatels and a fresh baguette, it is all about the texture and the salty, savoury richness. And for something a bit luscious I have chosen Delice de Saint Cyr, a creamy and grassy bloomy rind and good contrast to the umami bomb of the Aged Blue”

Angelica’s Cheesemas selection:

“Sentimentality for me this Cheesemas! Whenever I’m missing a taste of my home in rural country Victoria, I turn to Long Paddock’s Banksia for comfort - a nutty honeyed macadamia hug with a balanced tinge of bitterness. Perfect eaten with your feet up with an end of year Negroni!
And after my previous stint over Christmas in Torino…I can’t resist a lush dollop of Piedmont’s Robiola Rocchetta - an irresistibly harmonious balance of cow, sheep and goat”

Theo’s Cheesemas Choice

“My face says it all! Juncu is my pick for Cheesemas. A tangy Sardinian goat and sheep’s milk cheese. Pair with chestnut honey from Piedmont… perfection!”

Ruby’s Cheesemas (and everyday ) pick:

“So after a long day at school, I love to snack on pickles straight from the jar (the spicier the better) and fresh buffalo mozzarella with bread from PiOik.”

Ruby speaks the truth, she is powered by snacks💪

Zoë’s Cheesemas choice

“This year I have fallen in love with Australian cheeses, specifically Silver Wattle by Long Paddock and Riverine Blue by Berry’s Creek. Paired with Acide Zucchini pickles of course!! I look forward to sharing them with my loved ones over the holidays”

Rose’s pick for Cheesemas is Mokoan from Little Cedar Cheese
“It’s bright in flavour like fresh lemon thyme and fudgy in texture. Perfect with dried pears and crusty baguette”

In preparation for judging I attended a sensory training class run by Doctor Philippe Dumain, the sensory scientist from the Ecole du Fromage Savencia.

A great opportunity to refresh and build on the study I’ve already undertaken before judging the next day. Thank you for organising.

I’ve been judging Australian cheese for 14+ years & it was very interesting to have cheeses from all over the world in front of me on the table to evaluate.
