In 1993 I made a journey to Tasmania to meet a young fellow named John Healy who was making a cloth wrapped cheddar, a rare commodity in the early 90’s to find such a cheddar that was not imported from the UK. John and I spent several days travelling around and visiting fellow cheese makers, his dedication and passion was self evident then, as it is now. With a long family history in the dairy industry, Pyengana has gone from strength to strength as the range has expanded but one thing has remained consistant: “great cheese “.

Cloth Matured Cheddar

The multi award winning cheddar is cut from our aged 40 lb (16.0 kg) wheels, matured in traditional cheese cloth. Firm, dense texture Desirably crumbly as a result of cheddaring.
