The Noosa Food and Wine Festival

How many Mozzarella di Bufala makers does it take to change a light bulb? Three.... because that's all there is in Australia. And they were all in the same room at the Noosa Food and Wine Festival last weekend. Andrew from Shaw River, Vito from Vanella and yours truly. It was an unprecedented opportunity to be able to discuss Buffalo milk and the chalenges of working with it.

Gathered in this large marquee was a contingent of artisanal chees makers from Queensland; Barambah organic, Kilcoy semi matured & Fromart from Eudlo amongst others. Cheeses from around Australia were represented also; Beautiful cheddar from Tasmania, Woodside goat (SA), Meredith ashed goats (Vic). I felt proud to be exhibiting with such great cheese makers.


                                                             Sauteed pimentos!

But wait, there's more! other magnificent products like South Australian oysters,  Pimentos & exotic mushrooms grown in a railway tunnel.
