Milawa Cheese Factory

 

Milawa Cheese Factory

David & Anne Brown founded Milawa Cheese Company in the historic Milawa Butter Factory in 1988, and then they set out to make delicious Australian farmhouse cheeses inspired by European methods.

It wasn’t a sea change, but it was inspired by a similar desire to live in a smaller rural community where life was slower and somehow more real than city life. We lived in the cappuccino inner city belt of Melbourne, with two small kids. We wanted them to have the same sort of country childhood that we had, but what to do for a crust?

Richard Thomas, an old school friend of David’s came by one evening and over a few wines and cheeses we plotted the ongoing saga of the best cheese factory in Victoria, Australia, the World. The same old story. Only this time it happened.

I handed in my resignation as an English teacher at University High School, and David left his job with Applied Communications and we combed Victoria for a site close to both main markets of Melbourne and Sydney in a good dairying area.

In North East Victoria, we stopped at Brown Brothers winery, as was customary from Uni days ski trips and David remembered that there had been an old Butter Factory down the road. Eureka!
