Congratulations to Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory which has won the 2011 Champion Cheddar-Style Cheese award for its Warrnambool Vintage Cheddar at the Australian Cheese Awards.

The Allansford based Factory is one of the oldest dairy producers in Australia.

Judges said the winning cheese had: "the satisfying crumble of good cheddar, but the maturing technique leaves this vintage with a moist texture. Upon tasting the cheese, the characteristic zing of well matured cheddar and a scattering of lactate crystals will set your taste buds alight, while the slight fruitiness is very pleasant on the palate".
