Alexandrina Cheese Company - This Jersey dairy farm located in Mount Jagged, near Mount Compass, on the Fleurieu Peninsula (8km south of Mt Compass) is where the McCaul family produces award-winning hard style cheeses and luxury dairy products, using high quality, rich creamy jersey milk since 2001.
The range uses traditional methods supported with the combined knowledge of four generations of dairy farmers and cheese-makers.
Doe eyed jerseys cows often mill in nearby paddocks as you watch the cheese-making; stop for a country lunch platter, a shake or an Alexandrinashire Tea.
At The Cheesery, visitors can taste and buy up to 20 dairy products from the farm factory and observe cheese being made usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Ask about tutored vertical tastings of aged cheeses, from 3 months to 18 months, to show off seasonal differences.
The Cheesery is open daily, the family also trade at Willunga Farmers Market (fortnightly on Saturday) and Adelaide Farmers Market (weekly on Sunday).
The products can be found at a handful of speciality store, and you will find the stockist list online alexandrinacheese.com.au;
The brand enjoys being affliated with other South Australian dairy producers, and currently encourages everyone to not only #dodairysa but to #ichoosesa one hundred percent of the time.
