Vannella Bocconcini

Vannella Cheese is a quintessential Australian success story with deep Italian roots. Founded by master cheesemaker Vito Minoia, the company's journey began in Conversano, Puglia, the birthplace of iconic cheeses like burrata and stracciatella. After decades of honing his craft in Italy, Vito moved his family to Australia in 2004, bringing with him a passion for traditional cheesemaking.

The heart of the Vannella brand is its unwavering commitment to producing fresh, hand-stretched cheeses. They are pioneers in the Australian market, credited with helping introduce and popularise authentic burrata to a new generation of food lovers. The business remains a family affair, with Vito mentoring his children and grandchildren in the art of hand-stretching curds, ensuring the traditions of their Puglian heritage are preserved. Using locally sourced, high-quality Australian milk, Vannella produces a range of fresh cow's and buffalo milk cheeses that are celebrated for their creamy texture and authentic flavour.
