Did you know our #ilLupo is a raclette?
The cheese is made in a traditional raclette-style before being bathed in the fabulous LOBO cider, made just down the road by our good friends.
It has a sticky rind with a yeasty aroma that hints of cider, balanced by a silky smooth pâté tasting of fresh nuts with a meaty, savoury finish.
Melt it over new potatoes and cured meats, then to with cornichons.

#MonteDiavolo - a, seasonal semi-hard cheese handmade after the native pepper berry harvest each year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adding native pepper to this cheese gives it a uniquely Australian flavour. Sweet at first, with a peppery, smokey, herbal aftertaste.

May 18
After a short hiatus and rebrand we are pleased to relaunch our raw milk #LaSaracca. In the manner of all rockstars, the cheese formerly known as #FontinaVecchio is back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#LaSaracca is made in the classic style of the alpine cheeses of Northern Italy and based on the Fontina Vecchio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Valle d’Aosta, Fontina is a core part of the regional cuisine and our #LaSaracca is a tribute to this region and a cheese that reflects fond memories of that part of the world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Section28 uses a traditional recipe that has been adapted to Australian conditions, along with a mixture of heritage Italian cultures. The cheese is made from raw milk and then washed weekly for a minimum of five months in Section28’s cave.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#LaSaracca has an aromatic, slightly pungent, reddish yellow rind and a smooth, supple straw- yellow paste dotted with small round holes. It has a rich buttery flavour with a delicate nuttiness that is balanced by subtle hints of green grass, earthy cellars and sweet summer fruits.

The Section28 #Monforte is our flagship cheese. It is handcrafted in very limited quantities from the best milk produced by the dairy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is a raw milk, semi-hard cheese that is named after the village that the family lived in and is made using the traditional methods of the Alpine regions of France.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Monforte has a complex, but not overpowering flavour that highlights the quality of the raw milk. It is initially sweet and milky with hints of underlying pomme fruit (pear and green apple).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gradually, the taste transitions to a fuller more savoury flavour suggesting light broth or roast chicken skin with traces of roasted hazelnut. These are balanced by a subtle, earthy undertone particularly when tasting close to the rind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Section28 Homestead Currently, alongside “why Alpine cheeses” , this is the most commonly asked question of ...
Currently, alongside “why Alpine cheeses” , this is the most commonly asked question of our small enterprise. Whilst certainly a valid question, it is usually followed with a guess along the lines of: “is it a reference to some piece of legislation?”.
Nothing nearly so clever, I am afraid. Rather, the name Section28 is a nod to our original family farm.
A Section is a historical legacy in South Australia, left by the surveying structure used in founding the colony. Under the founding scheme, land was divided up and sold to pay for the passage of selected settlers. The simplest method for the systematic survey of new areas was found to be dividing the land into Counties, then Hundreds (usually 100 square miles) and then into sections.
Thus, Section 28 in the Hundred of Roberts is 1,800 acres in the middle of South Australia’s ‘wheat and sheep’ country. There are not many dairies in the area and, with less than 400mm of annual rainfall and an altitude in the tens of metres rather than the 1,000s of metres, it is a long way removed from the Alpine pastures of Eastern France.
However, while growing up, we ran a few house cows (all named, as was the fashion, after a garden flower – Daisy, Dandelion, Rose…) for milk, cream and butter. And it was on the farm where, in what seems like an eternity ago, the seeds for this adventure were sown.
What other questions do you have?
“If we want to make meaning, we need to make art” - Brené Brown. Eleven words that caused ...
“If we want to make meaning, we need to make art” – Brené Brown.
Eleven words that caused a pause in an otherwise busy day. The surprise was that this pause then formed the kernel of a thought that, in turn, developed into an idea, which has now grown into Section28 Farmstead Cheeses.
Making art in the form of Artisan Cheese is possibly not the result that you might expect from a moment of reflection, but this has been our inspiration to step out of our comfortable existence and try something new.
We are passionate about creating products of the highest possible quality. We are inspired by true Master Craftsmen – people that spend a lifetime perfecting their art, referencing time-honoured traditions but making their own improvements, and measuring their success in the joy on a customer’s face.
And so, we are setting out to emulate this tradition. Section28 Artisan Cheeses will produce hand-made Alpine Cheeses that capture the very essence of the Adelaide Hills. We are captivated by the mixture of science and technical skill, combined with pure artistry that has been the source of the world’s great cheeses. Our aim is to create unique Australian cheeses that reference their European heritage and cheesemaking traditions but have a style and flavour which is distinctly their own.
Over the past 18 months we have worked to put the foundations for this venture in place, and today we begin the process of building the business. Over the next few months we will build and equip the production facility, test our production processes, develop our signature cheeses, launch our brand and begin selling. It all seems quite simple when captured in a brief sentence, but marginally daunting if thought about for too long!
Wiser people than us have said that the joy is in the journey rather than the destination. With this in mind, we would like to invite you to join us as we embark upon this journey to make art. We promise it will be exhilarating.

“I trust a good deal to common fame, as we all must. If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards,
or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs than anybody else,
you will find a broad hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.”
An extract from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s journal, 1855
Section28 Artisan Cheeses is a small business dedicated to achieving absolute excellence in our raw materials,
in our production and in all of our cheese. Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, we aim to become known as a leading Australian artisan
producer of hard and semi-hard Alpine cheeses that quintessentially capture the essence of our local environment.
Our passion is hand-making uniquely Australian cheeses using the classic traditions of European cheesemakers and
the very best milk from the Adelaide Hills. We are inspired by the relentless search for perfection of the Master Cheesemaker,
the artistry required to hand-craft a great product and the history that is embedded in each cheese that is made.
We are excited to be on this adventure and welcome you to join us.
