Welcome
The sun was shining and with a slight breeze it was a perfect Adelaide day for this year's CheeseFest 09 in Rymill Park.
CheeseFest is a celebration of the Australian specialty cheese industry providing an opportunity for cheesemakers to promote and raise the awareness of the art of specialty cheesemaking.
Cheese lovers from across the state enjoyed cheese sampling, cheese cooking and cheese chatter!The cooking demonstrations by our celebrity chefs were a real hit and included cheese in all of their recipes. See our Entertainment page.
The Awards presentation revealed this years gold medal and trophy winners in the CheeseFest 09 competition with King Island Dairy a stand out. See Competition for full list of gold medals winners.
CheeseFest brings South Australian regions together in a central location in the city with winemakers, cheese makers, food producers, restaurants and caterers all attending the Festival serving their delicacies to a discerning audience.
A record crowd this year confirms CheeseFest is a popular and growing Festival and one that is unique in its celebration of CHEESE!
