Say cheese! Australia’s largest cheese festival is coming back this year, taking over Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Mould: A Cheese Festival is promising a delightfully mature and smelly line-up, with over 27 cheese producers and over 100 varieties to discover. Explore textured and earthy flavours, raw milk varieties and more types of delicious homegrown cheese. Mould will take over Carriageworks from July 26 to July 28.
Mould: A Cheese Festival
This cheese festival has delighted Australians since 2017. Presented by Revel, the team behind Pinot Palooza and Picolo, this festival delivered one million samples across three cities last year, and attendees in total took home a whopping 8.5 tonnes of Australian cheese.
Although the full cheese line-up hasn’t been announced yet, you can expect cheese from the best artisan producers around the country. Pair your cheese with olives, crackers, conserves and smallgoods, and indulge in cheese-focused dishes from local cheesemongers and chefs.
There will also be plenty to drink from the Mould bar, including vodka, gin, wine, beer, cider, cocktails and sake.
