Curated Range of Australian Cheese
When we established RIPE, based on the philosophy of selecting Australia's best cheese, we had no idea how challenging that would be...there are so many amazing artisan cheesemakers in this country we were just spoiled for choice. So this is just the beginning of our ongoing journey to continue to find and present to you the best of Australia.

The Cheddar is made using traditional methods the family has used for generations. It is not released before 12 months of age, with some needing 14 months. Whilst maturing on pine boards, it is hand turned and rubbed about every 3 weeks, this gives the cheese its distinctive flavour.
