About Apostle Whey Cheese
Apostle Whey Cheese was established in 2002 by Julian and Dianne Benson after watching a story about cheese making on Landline. Julian and Dianne decided to investigate the possibility of making cheeses and enrolled into a cheese making course at Gilbert Chandler University in Werribee. After 2 years in operation chief cheese maker Melanie Pollock is producing some of Southwest Victoria s premier cheeses.
The cheeses are named after the Great Ocean Road iconic locations. Loch Ard gorgeous, Southern Briez, Apostle Crumble, The Grotto, bay of martyrs, just to name a few.
Your hosts Julian and Dianne Benson welcome tourists and visitors to their cheese factory 7 days a week. There visitors are welcome to an informative cheese tasting. Also available are hot and cold drinks, a variety of local wines and beers to accompany the cheeses on offer. Visitors are most welcome to sit back and relax with a cheese platter while watching a complimentary DVD on the making of Apostle Whey Cheeses or just enjoy the view of the Heytesbury settlement. Visitors are most welcome to visit the dairy at approximately 4.30pm to watch the cows being milked in a modern rotary dairy.
Julian and Dianne look forward in giving visitors a warm friendly welcome at Apostle Whey Cheese.
