Vannella Oaxaca

Marrickville, NSW

A traditional rope-wound pulled curd cheese — fresh, milky and mildly tangy, with a satisfying stretch that makes it as much fun to pull apart as it is to eat.

  • About the Producer
Oaxaca is a pasta filata (stretched curd) cheese with roots in the Oaxaca region of Mexico, made using the same technique as mozzarella — the curd is pulled and stretched until silky smooth, then wound into a tight rope coil. Vannella's version is made fresh in their Marrickville dairy, using the same traditional method they apply to their Italian-style range.

The flavour is clean and milky with a delicate tang, and the texture is what makes it special — supple and elastic, peeling apart in satisfying ribbons. It softens beautifully under heat, making it exceptional on a pizza, melted into a quesadilla, or simply torn and eaten fresh with a drizzle of good olive oil.

For a simple pairing, try it with a light-bodied white — a Margaret River Semillon or a crisp Vermentino works nicely. On a board, it holds its own alongside mild charcuterie and a good seeded cracker.

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.
