BEHIND THE CHEESE

Sustained quality in cheese production is the hallmark of our cheese maker, Barry Charlton. This is proudly echoed in our extensive tally of awards since 2007 when two driven cheese-lovers embarked on their vision to establish an artisan cheese company. This vision was enhanced by their connection with local Mossvale Park and their proud family heritage in South Gippsland, Victoria.
Coupled with these factors are Barry’s 30 years of experience in cheese making and his unique brand of creativity. The overall result allows Barry to intuitively read the conditions associated with handling a natural product and so develop distinctive styles of cheese.

The close knit members of our team include Barry’s partner, Cheryl, who works
tirelessly in the overall operations of the business. Perpetual ‘Employee of the
Month’, Laura, has been contributing since our early days. Following in her footsteps is Amanda, who coaches Laura’s serenading of the cheese – our secret ingredient. Heather, our book-keeper, alas, will never be ‘Employee of the month’ due to her unfortunate aversion to blue cheese!
The team also extends to family members who, from the earliest of days, have applied their talented support and volunteered their time to attend festivals and farmers markets. These members are Steve and Maz, Elissa and Kyle and Merryn and Benni. Elissa gains an extra mention for her artist graphic designs including our cheese labelling and our website. The youngest and cutest team member is Kaden who already holds blue cheese close to his heart and we have the photo to prove it!

This all translates into the team, here at Berrys Creek Gourmet Cheese, having a true commitment to producing high quality cheese you simply can’t resist –

This is the culture we dare to mould!
