OUR PROCESS
Maffra Cheese Co.’s cheese factory, located near the township of Maffra, is modelled on the early Australian cheddar plants and remains one of only a few of its kind: cheeses are hand crafted the old way, typically using little mechanisation.
Every step in the process — from understanding the seasonality of the milk harvested from cows grazing just meters away, the hand salting in traditional open vats, pressing the curd using hydraulics, to carefully wrapping the individual cheeses for maturing — is a labour of love. And the cheese tastes all the better for it.
Handmade cheese is a rare commodity today, handmade cheddar even rarer, and Maffra Cheese is made right on the farm.
