#20: Nardia Baxter, Goldfields Cheese (Ballarat, Victoria)

A microbiologist and food technologist walk into a cheese shop .. may sound like the start of fairly intellectual joke but this did happen and some years later Goldfields was established and Nadia Baxter and Andrew Keene have never looked back.

My name is Dan Sims and on today’s podcast we chat about all things microbiology and how the environment, from what the cows eat to how much it rains, totally changes the cheese from batch to batch.

Plus the pains and gains of running a small business.

Nadia and Andrew work tirelessly with 2 young kids in tow to create cheese that aims to balance art and science … and we’re so grateful for Nardia for taking the time to speak to us.
