23-carat gold on cheese anyone? Adelaide Hills cheesemaker Kris Lloyd is set to unveil her latest premium offering at this week’s ANZ Community Market.
The founder of Woodside Cheese Wrights will showcase her Golden Blossom goats cheese, made using wattle blossoms, which comes with its own vial of honey to drizzle on — and a real gold leaf on the top.
“I am very excited to be a part of the ANZ market. It’s a great opportunity for us to reach out to a completely different demographic of customers.
“It’s also perfectly timed because our Golden Blossom cheese, made in collaboration with Orana chef Jock Zonfrillo, is ready to debut.”
“The cheese is completely different from anything anyone else is doing in the world,” she said.
Golden Blossom will retail at $25 for 120gm at the market, organised by ANZ Bank’s SA branch for the first time.
State general manager Brendan Rinaldi said he had introduced a similar concept in Victoria successfully.
“It’s just a fun way to get our staff and the community in to connect with some of the businesses in SA, including ones we work with,” he said.
“We got great feedback from staff and customers in Victoria and this year a marketplace is being held in all capital cities (except Darwin).
“It is now turning into other initiatives such as supporting charities like Foodbank.”
Besides Woodside Cheese, 14 other stallholders will be at the market on Wednesday, November 21, from 10.30am to 2.30pm on the rear courtyard of ANZ’s SA office at 11 Waymouth Street.
These include brewer Lobethal Bierhaus, growers Harvest the Fleurieu, Kimbolton Wines, Barossa Distilling Company, Red Cacao Chocolatier, PISA bakery, Hanhdorf Meats, Kangaroo Island Olives, ice cream maker Golden North and other operators.
Outdoor trainers Step into Life will be holding sessions throughout the day.
The bank is also promoting “Youth in the Community” through the Sacred Heart Middle School band who will be performing from 12pm and 1.30pm.
The market will also have bags of rice being sold for $20 as a donation back to Foodbank, who get the rice and $5 cash proceeds from the purchase.
