& Cheese

Overview

The Australian Specialist Cheesemakers' Association (ASCA) is joining forces with some of the best producers in Sydney to bring you a week dedicated to all things cheese. The somewhat awkwardly named '& Cheese' series brings the ooey gooey queen of dairy front-and-centre, where she belongs, for a diverse cheese appreciation week from May 31 through to June 7.

These events will go deeper than a simple wine and cheese pairing — though we'll admit it is a hard match to beat. ASCA will be putting forth unusual matches like Four Pillars gin and cheese at Moya's Juniper Lounge in Redfern, coffee and cheese at Alexandria's Mecca Coffee, and — our personal favourite — beer and cheese at Newtown craft beer haven Young Henrys. Of course, a requisite wine and cheese event will take place at urban winery Cake Wines, along with two chances to learn how to make the perfect cheese board at the Tramsheds.

Tickets are on sale now, so head to the ASCA Eventbrite page for a full list of event dates and further details:
