About.
The Cheeseboard has grown from a respect for good cheese and
passion for local food. Fuelled by a belief that small scale farmers
should be able to earn a living, Wendy Downes, the founder, started
learning as much as she could about cheese. Its history, the science,
how to make it and how to age it.
This journey took her to learn cheese making at the Artisan Cheese
Making Academy Australia and affinage at Mons caves at St Haon le
Chatel, France.
With this knowledge, The Cheeseboard, an affinage business aimed
at promoting Australian artisan cheese was born. Today, the caves
support our shop and supply restaurants and bars around
Queensland.
