The wonderful old craft of making cheese is making a very popular comeback as more people are wanting to get back to basics and want to know they are feeding their families real and wholesome food. By making their own cheese they know where their milk is coming from, what ingredients are going into it and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of creating a wholesome product that has been made by their own hands.

This year the Small Farms Field Day at Malanda on is adding a Home Cheesemaker Competition open to anyone who has the knack of creating their own cheese.

Jude Nechwatal is the event organiser and a judge for this exciting new event and is well known for her own wonderful cheese making craft throughout the Tablelands and beyond. Also stepping up to be a judge is  Gina Dal Santo renowned Food Judge.

There are 3 categories to enter your cheese. Three categories are the simple unflavoured versions of  Fetta, Camembert and Cream Cheese. The judges want to be able to taste the real cheese flavours of and textures of these popular  cheeses. For those cheesemakers who want to add a further creative dimension, they can enter the flavoured Fetta Cheese  category.

This competition is open to cheesemakers of all ages and organisers are expecting a huge response.
