Milawa Cheese Company

A proudly family owned business, Milawa Cheese Co began in 1988 inspired by an unforgettable cheese moment in northern Italy.

On a menu turistico, founders David and Annie Brown met a creamy, soft blue cheese that blew them away. But when they tried to find something similar back home in Australia, nothing came close. There was only one thing to do: buy an old butter factory in country Victoria and learn to make it themselves!

In the heritage Milawa butter factory building, the team makes cow’s and goat’s milk cheeses from local milk, completely by hand. They welcome visitors for guided cheese tastings (by appointment) and to purchase perfectly matured cheese from the source alongside a range of local condiments.

The building also hosts local producers Milawa Bread, Wood Park Wines and Wattle Tree Gift Collection, offering a well-rounded experience in the heart of the Milawa Gourmet Region.
