Heidi Raclette takes Gold at ASCA cheese show

HEIDI FARM RACLETTE IS CROWNED GRAND CHAMPION CHEESE

Heidi Farm Raclette Cheese, a Swiss style cheese from Tasmania, was today awarded the acclaimed title of ?Grand Champion Cheese? at the 2008 Melbourne Specialist Cheese Show.

Heidi Farm beat a highly competitive field to take out the award, from an astounding range of over 300 of our finest Australian handmade specialty cheeses, including soft oozing camemberts, creamy blues and crumbling cheddars.

Heidi Farm Raclette Cheese has an intense and delicious perfume and authentic flavour. The rich milky flavour and deep golden luscious texture is best appreciated when the cheese is melted or cooked. Heidi Farm Raclette was one of the first farmhouse cheeses in Australia and has always been made in a traditional style. While the world rushes by, Heidi Farm goes quietly about its business making superb farmhouse cheeses in the natural way from their herd of Friesians.

The judges, including cheese experts, food media and restaurateurs faced the daunting task of tasting cheeses across 10 categories including classic Aged Cheddar, White and Blue Mould, Washed Rind, Fresh Curd, Sheep, Goat and Buffalo milk cheeses.

In all, 10 Gold Medals were awarded plus the Grand Champion Cheese.

Chief Judge of the Melbourne Specialist Cheese Show, Ian Roberton applauded the Grand Champion winner and said: ?Heidi Farm Raclette is world class and not only scored high on points, it was remarked on many times and is a worthy winner of the title ?Grand Champion Cheese?.
