Today, we speak with Burke Brandon from Prom Country cheese from South Gippsland, in Victoria. An area very close to my heart not just for incredible cheese, but wine, beaches and more.
What I loved about talking with Burke is that he is a farmer first and his connection to his land and animals, then to his cheese, is self-evident. And so is his humility.
The phrase ‘humble farmer’ may at times be a throwaway line but I can’t think of a better way to describe him.
There is a humble pride for the cheese he makes and I know you’ll hear what I mean as you listen on … especially for his new ‘secret project’ cheese.
Burke and his wonderful wife Bronwyn, open their cheesery and country kitchen over the spring and summer months so if you find yourself that way, do pop in and say hi, and, if you’re lucky, you may get to try one of Bronwyn’s legendary sausage rolls.
I can attest this personally but please don’t mention my name, as I’ll no doubt get in trouble as they are only ever in short supply.
Just as well they have wonderful cheese and wine as back up.
We’re big fans of Prom Country and we know you will too.
