Alexandrina Cheese Company

Alexandrina Edam is unique to us, only manufacturer in the mainland of Australia making a traditional round Edam cheese. It is distinctive because our Edam is completely handcrafted, pressed under a heavy metal sheet, moulded in bespoke Edam hoops, brine salted, prepared for maturation in traditional red wax and matured for at least 6 months on wooden shelves.

We continue to use exclusive starter cultures and rennet, the manufacturing process has gone back in time over a hundred years, returning to the traditional methods of cheese making. Our boutique cheeses possess subtle variation in flavour – it is to be enjoyed knowing the seasonal variation of the Jersey cows’ milk, and the weekly turn of the cheesemakers’ hands.
