Adelaide will host the country’s first raw milk cheese tasting when Cheesefest&FERMENT – Australia’s biggest cheese festival – kicks off at the end of the month.

Festival director Kris Lloyd will curate a special selection of raw milk cheeses that will be available for tasting and purchase, including her famous raw milk Picasso.

Only a small selection of raw milk cheese is available in Australia due to food safety regulations.

There’ll also be plenty of other food and drink options supplied by a range of stall holders.
