#LaSaracca is made in the classic style of the alpine cheeses of Northern Italy and is based on the Fontina Vecchio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cheese is made from raw milk and then washed weekly for a minimum of six months in our cave.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has an aromatic, slightly pungent, reddish rind and a smooth, supple straw-yellow paste dotted with small round holes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
La Saracca has robust, rich and complex flavour, with earthy savory notes of grasses and the barnyard. This is balanced by the sweetness of the milk, provides a long and memorable finish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In light of Aussie Artisan week next week (16th-22nd), we wanted to shine a light on those local cheesemongers that bridge the gap between the makers and the customers. The cheese shops and independent grocers are important for the survival of small businesses and those that operate them often go unnoticed. This is a time to get to know your local shop owner and say thanks for championing great Aussie produce. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our seasonal #MontCheval is now available!
A classic #rawmilk semi-hard alpine cheese that is washed twice a week with the Pinot Noir lees from the winemaking process of our neighbours, Murdoch Hill Wines.
The washing turns the rind a deep
purple colour and, after being further aged in our cave, the Mont Cheval has a complex meaty, spicy flavour that hints at fresh grass and roasted nuts.
Serve it with Plain crackers and dried fruit alongside Murdoch Hill’s Phaeton Pinot Noir!!

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.

La Primavera pays homage to the moment that spring emerges in the Adelaide Hills
Our La Primavera pays homage to the moment that spring emerges in the Adelaide Hills. We take the first raw (unpasteurised) milk of the season and use classic alpine techniques to create a uniquely Australian cheese.

The smooth, supple paste has a rich buttery flavour enhanced by a delicate nuttiness and subtle hints of grass.
Best Served With:
Plain crackers and dried fruit
Wine Match:
Pinot Grigio, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto

BK Wines’ Pet Nat
“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.
