New to our cheese selection, Old Telegraph Road (OTR) celebrates the time honoured traditional method of cheese making – one that values the benefits of patience, allowing for natural ageing to occur, they bring back the delicious texture, taste and aroma of traditional cheese through ripening it to perfection.

Most cheese today is released before it is mature and in optimum condition. There are so many elements to producing top quality cheese but it is the traditional method of ripening that has been the missing link in Australia. To add complexity to cheese and to make it something special, cheese has to be allowed to age.

At Old Telegraph Road we care about such things and so do admirers of real, traditional cheese. The Old Telegraph Road product range is made following the age-old European method that allows for increased maturing time. For instance, the OTR Brie and Triple Cream White are matured in ideal conditions for up to eight weeks before they are despatched from the Old Telegraph Road factory.

OTR is for people who want to experience real cheese. It is for those who care more about taste and flavour, rather than how long is the use by date. It is made in Victoria by passionate local country folk, for Australians who appreciate local regional produce made with healthy, happy cows that feed on the moist, rich pasture of the West Gippsland valley.

The OTR range is available from G&K for your tasting pleasure.
