Cooler weather calls for bigger flavours and bolder cheeses.

And you won't find many cheeses cooler than Pecorino Il Predicatore from Italy.

Made from rich sheep's milk and aged in oak barrels, this extraordinary Italian pecorino is coated in Tuscan Merlot grape marc, creating a cheese that's creamy, savoury and beautifully complex. Expect rich red wine aromas, fruity notes and a luscious texture that makes it a standout on any winter cheese board.

The dramatic purple rind tells the story of the Merlot grapes, while the paste inside delivers all the magic.

If you're looking for a unique artisan cheese to pair with red wine by the fire, this is it.

Available in store now for a limited time.

If you are a washed-rind lover, this one is for you!
Meet the award-winning King River Gold by

We are completely obsessed with this stinky sucker.
Beneath the golden, slightly gritty rind lies a buttery, silky-smooth paste that gets richer and more decadent as it ripens. It’s bold and savoury, yet approachable enough for any cheese board!

We love it
On a plate: Let it come to room temperature soo it goes beautifully oozy. Pair with crusty bread and or a sweet fruit paste

The Sips: I'm a bit partial to a Riesling with my stinky

Melted: the ultimate cheese toastie or gnocchi sauce. Try with pear and hazelnuts to cut thru the creaminess

What we have in stock is prime for the long weekend grazing or indulgence, whichever comes first

Small business supporting small business

One of the best parts of being local is getting to collaborate with other passionate people in our community — like our favourite plant legends Dan & Ally from Habitat Plant House.

We love partnering with local businesses because it helps all of us grow, reach new customers and introduce people to beautiful products they might never have discovered otherwise.

From artisan food and specialty cheese to indoor plants, homewares and gifts, shopping local keeps creativity and community alive right here in the Illawarra.
Plus… it means I occasionally become a foster plant mum while these leafy beauties hang out in the shop 🌱

If you haven’t visited Habitat Plant House in Port Kembla yet, do yourself a favour.

Amazing plants, stunning shop and genuinely epic humans
