Artisan cheesemakers say sales of gourmet cheese are defying cost-of-living pressures as more people enjoy little indulgences at home instead of eating out.
The rising cost of living has resulted in some consumers buying cheaper unbranded cheeseWoombye Cheese owner Beth O'Leary said that demand was strong for her Blackall Gold Washed Rind, which was judged the nation's best cheese at the 2023 Australian Grand Dairy Awards.
"Some fresh bread, a few fresh tomatoes, drizzle some honey over the top. It's just absolutely amazing, you really can taste and understand the slow process that comes with making cheese."Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey said some people had swapped to buying cheaper unbranded table cheese in response to cost-of-living pressures.
"They still want to entertain, so they're entertaining at home, and having a little bit of indulgence at home can help sales of things like speciality cheese and ice-cream."The oldest archaeological evidence of cheese was found in an Egyptian tomb, dating back to 3200 BC.
