Long Paddock Cheese

Long Paddock makes its cheese at The Mill in Castlemaine, Victoria, on Dja Dja Wurrung country. It was founded by French cheesemaker Ivan Larcher and Alison Lansley, and every cheese is made by hand from certified organic cow's milk, delivered several times a week from a family farm nearby.

The style is French, the identity Australian. The cheeses take their names from local plants and stone: Silver Wattle, a soft lactic cheese in the St Marcellin style; Driftwood, wrapped in spruce bark; Banksia, a tomme; Granite, a cloth-bound cheddar; and Bluestone, a gentle natural-rinded blue.
