#25: Corinne Blackett, Drysdale Cheese (Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria)

On a small goat farm on the Bellarine Peninsula, Corinne Blackett makes a wonderful, if small range, of delicious goat's cheese.

A pharmacist by trade, Corinne fell in love with goats when she had purchased a six to keep the grass under control on the property.

What else do you do with these natural lawn mowers?
Well, make cheese of course and it was after realising the pleasure of the cheese making process in her kitchen, no doubt thanks to the incredible freshness of milk at hand, Drysdale Cheese was born.

Now with a herd of just 30 milking goats on a small, 5 acre property, Corinne makes a small range of award winning cheese that you, if you’re lucky enough, can find in local shops and restaurants in the greater Geelong and Bellarine region

I’ve been wanting to chat to Corinne since we started this humble podcast and I’m sure you’ll agree, it was well worth the wait.
As with all conversations, this just starts to scratch the surface of the Drysdale Cheese story and there is so much more we could discuss but for now, get settled so, let’s get into it.
