Description:
Ashgrove Cheese was established in 1993 by the Bennet family to value add to the milk being produced on their farm in the picturesque countryside of Elizabeth Town in central Northern Tasmania. Today that operation has expanded to milk over 900 Friesian dairy cows on two dairy farms, supplying milk both to Ashgrove Cheese and Fonterra.
This is a traditional farmhouse cheddar cheese crafted by hand using traditional cheddaring techniques. All milk for the cheese production is sourced from the families own dairy cows ensuring the highest quality standards are maintained throughout the process. This results in a cheese that is a little flakier than most standard cheddar with a more intense, sharper flavour whilst still maintaining the nutty characteristic common in most cheddar cheese. The Vintage Cheddar is aged for a minimum of 24 months prior to its release.
