I assumed sheep's milk would taste like goat milk, and have a fairly strong flavor. Nope. I wouldn't be able to tell it was from a sheep and not from a cow. I sampled a number of cheeses, but my favorite was the sheep's milk halloumi cheese. It's a grilling cheese. It's on the saltier side, but pairs incredibly with fruit.

We stopped in…read moreon a Saturday afternoon around 4pm and there were a bunch of seats available and people buying things from the store. For 3 people as snack we shared the cheese platter for 2 ($23.95) and added charcuterie ($7.95). It came with 4 cheese selections. The bleu brie was the best! It also came with 3 types of crackers and bread, along with some dried fruit. The charcuterie came with a few slices of salami, a small piece of pate and 2 rolls of pickled green beans. It wasn't the best charcuterie choice but the cheese was excellent. Their slightly curried chutney was also nice. The atmosphere was cute, they had a lot of selection in their cheese fridge to purchase and other food items in the store. The service was a bit sassy but not too bad, we never felt rushed. While we were sitting at the bar we watched them assemble many huge cheese party boards with customers coming in to pick them up and they all looked so beautiful!

This is a long overdue review…read more.. Once I found out that they give cheese tours, I made it a compulsory event on my to do list. They host monthly Saturday cheese tours and it cost $7 per person. Remember to call or email in advance to reserve a spot. My boyfriend and I arrived ~10 mins earlier than the scheduled tour. The ladies in the cheese shop area were super nice and told us to start sampling the cheese whilst we wait for the other parties to arrive. This was the first time I heard and tasted quark. We were told by the staff that it can be used in place of yoghurt - eg. eat it straight up or add it to baking. For the tour, they will give you shoe/boot covers and a hair net. They shut down the production line whilst giving the tour, which makes sense for hygiene reasons. The production area was immaculate! The tour guide told us they clean all the equipments and production area at the end of each day after a batch of cheese is made. The tour was informative and our guide was happy to answer all our questions. Apparently ~4000 liters of milk makes 100kg worth of cheese. Out of all the different production stages/areas, we spent the longest in the impressive "cheese cave". There were so many wheels of cheese!!! Each wheel weighs ~10kg and the net worth of cheese in the aging room were in the millions. After the tour the different parties waited in line to buy cheese. The cheese are all vacuum sealed to prolong storage life. Out of the 6 types of cheese I bought, the truffle flavour was favourite. It had a strong truffle aroma with an underlying milky taste.
