Almost 10,000 cheese-connoisseurs consumed a record-breaking six tonnes of local artisan cheese during MOULD’s triumphant return to events last year. Now enjoying its seventh iteration, MOULD 2023 is thrilled to host cheese-lovers and foodies alike across Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney as well as marking its Perth debut in August, as it officially heads west for the very first time.
The team from REVEL (masterminds behind Pinot Palooza and new no-lo drinks festival Picolo) will present a feta than ever line-up of over 25 local producers showcasing over 100 varieties of Australian-made dairy products.
MOULD punters can expect more gouda times with an exceptional, quality food and drink line-up featuring the new and much-loved faces that make-up Australia’s makers, growers, farmers and families championing the homegrown dairy industry.
Made fresher, and unapologetically Australian, sample innovative and award-winning product from the likes of Milawa as well as other top producers including Grandvewe, Section 28, Coal River, La Cantara, Long Paddock Cheese and Vannella, who will bring their fresh produce to the party for an epic day of cheese. Last year, curd nerds who attended the festival voted for Victorian producer, Milawa’s aged blue cheese, for People’s Choice 2022, cementing an insatiable appetite for fine artisan cheese all over the country and proving a big year for blue-cheese lovers.
“We’re all about bringing together the best Australian producers to taste and talk about the incredible produce we make here,” says Festival organiser, Rachel Stewart, of Revel and Mould Cheese Collective.
“Now more than ever it is vital to support these producers so why not come and do that at Mould! With a glass of vino, some good tunes and great company this year is sure to be a blast. And Perth, we can’t wait to see you! Hope you are ready!”
From textured blues to earthy and raw milk varieties, tickets to Australia’s premiere dairy event are on sale now for $49 +BF and include all tastings, access to culinary cheese talks, and a complimentary Dairy Australia cooler bag for keeping your cheesy goodness at the perfect temperature once purchased from the producer.
Other tasty pairings on offer will include Mount Zero olives, artisan honey from Bee One Third, and small batch preserves from Women’s Work and more. In between samples, grab a tipple to wash down each bite from the likes of Archie Rose, Hartshorn Distillery, Brick Lane Beer, or head to the Pinot Palooza Wine Bar for a perfectly matched pairing, or festival newcomer, Picolo Bar – which will be sorting punters with delicious no and low alcohol options.
Following the Brisbane leg in mid-May, MOULD 2023 events will be held in Melbourne and Sydney in June, with a Perth event in August which will bring together Revel’s other stalwart event, Pinot Palooza – the world’s largest pinot noir party – and Australia’s biggest cheese festival for the ultimate pairing.
Tickets across the Brisbane (12-14 May), Melbourne (2-4 June), Sydney (30 June-1 July) and Perth (25-27 August) are on sale now via mouldcheesefestival.com/pages/festival
