What a way to end the day in the heart of dairy country! After a day of handcrafting our world-class, award-winning cheeses, we're treated to this spectacular sunset over the Prom. We feel so lucky to work and live in such a beautiful part of Gippsland. Time to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor, maybe with a slice of Tarwin Blue and a glass of local wine!

🏆 CHAMPION CHEESE OF SHOW 🏆
We are still floating on air after an incredible week at the 2026 Sydney Royal Cheese & Dairy Produce Awards!

We are beyond thrilled to announce that our Riverine Blue was named Champion Cheese of Show. 🧀✨ To see our buffalo milk blue recognized at this level is a testament to the passion and dedication of our entire team back home in Fish Creek.

It was such a treat to watch the show’s highlights and see the Riverine showcased throughout the video—it’s always a proud moment to see South Gippsland artisan cheese shining on the national stage.

A massive thank you to the Sydney Royal Show for the opportunity to share what we do with all of Australia. And of course, a huge shoutout to our local buffalo milk producer—we couldn’t do it without the world-class ingredients from our own backyard.

Cheers to the team, our mentors Barry and Cheryl, and everyone who supports Berrys Creek Gourmet Cheese!

Making artisan cheese is a passion and a daily commitment. Every wheel of Berry Creek Gourmet Cheese is made from a single herd farm, hand made under the guideance of Master Cheesemaker Barry Charlton and aged with care. Here our Senior Cheesemaker, Kathryn Brown, checks and monitors the Tarwin Blue as it develops in the cheese cave. Berrys Creek Gourmet Cheese strives everyday to provide Australia with the best artisian cheese.
