#19: Julie Hinchliffe, Robe Dairy (Robe, South Australia)

Welcome back to the Mould cheese Podcast where we talk to the makers, growers, farmers and families who just happen to make the best cheese in Australia. We are back again this year to continue the conversation with the Brie-liant people in our growing collective orbit.. Expect to hear stories from more cheese  producers, a mini series on drinks matching with the some of the industry’s best before getting to the nitty gritty of how cheese is made and also chatting with independent cheesemongers that champion Australia's best. It's going to be a Gouda year! So, to today’s episode ... It begins with a house cow and a milk moment. Here I chat with Julie from Robe Dairy about heirloom cultures, the beauty of good milk and the small town of Robe they call home. The journey started after a taste of real quality jersey milk in Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. It was that moment that Julie discovered the potential her house cow, affectionately called Rosie had to produce some amazing cheese. But this wasn’t aiming for perfection but rather personality, and  caring for a small herd of just 20 cows. Then, thanks to the unique cultures they use, Robe Dairy cheese is packed with bundles of personality. This was actually recorded last year so forgive us for the delay in getting this live!
