Apostle Whey Cheese was conceived during a severe drought and price downturn in the dairy industry in 2002-03. Realising a large number of tourists often dropped in to watch our cows being milked after visiting the 12 Apostles, we believed it was time to investigate further the possibility of value adding the high quality raw milk product we produced.

On watching a story on "Landline" on the ABC about cheese making, we decided to enrol in a cheese making course at Gilbert Chandler Institute at Werribee. Our business has expanded and we are now suppling a number of outlets including gourmet food shops, wineries and restaurants» RETAILERS PAGE.
We extend to you all, a warm welcome and hope you enjoy our tasty cheeses and great views. Julian and Dianne.
Melaine Pollock - a gifted cheese make has been with awc from its inception. Melaine is responsible for the development of our cheese lines and has been rewarded with a couple of gold medals - from Royal Melbourne Show with marrinated Fetta we call Apostle Crumble and our Brie Southern Breeze awarded Gold at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney 2007.
We are sure that you will agree with us that Melaine does a great job, when you taste our cheeses.

The cheese making factory is fed milk via the near by dairy. The sixteen soft and semi hard cheeses are produced using up to 1600 litres of milk per week. Products can be purchased in the shop situated at the south end of the factory overlooking the valley.
