  • The Big Cheese: CheeseFest October 2011

    Down here in South Australia we like to do things in a big way. The Big Orange at Berri. The Big Rocking Horse in the Adelaide Hills. The Big Lobster in Kingston. I’m not sure what that says about our state psyche but we like to make a noticeable splash.

    We’re not just talking about fibreglass and steel tourist attractions either. The Adelaide Fringe is Australia’s largest arts festival while our festival of cheese, CheeseFest, is Australia’s #1 cheese festival.

    Created a mere six years ago by Founder/Director Kris Lloyd (manager and head cheesemaker of Woodside Cheese Wrights), CheeseFest is an outdoor festival at Rymill Park that showcases South Australia’s and Australia’s wonderfully talented cheese producers. You can enjoy cheese sampling, cheese cooking, cheese making demonstrations and even cheese master classes.

    Celebrity Chefs appearing this year include patron Simon Bryant (The Cook and the Chef, ex The Hilton), Callum Hann (MasterChef 2010 runner up) and Paul Wood (My Kitchen Rules).

    CheeseFest 2011 is showcasing a wonderful lineup of food and wine producers:

    Cheese stalls

    Food stalls

    Beverage Stalls

    See you there.
