NZ Cheese Month Materials
October is always NZ Cheese Month as it marks the spring flush, a crucial time for cheesemakers, marked by the abundance of premium milk as dairy animals graze on lush spring pasture. Fresh, nutrient-rich grass leads to an increase in cheese production. Spring milk is plentiful and richer in fats and proteins, which is reflected in cheese with enhanced flavour and texture. Fresh and soft cheeses in particular benefit from the creamy richness of cow, sheep, goat, buffalo and deer milk during this season.
Organised by the New Zealand Specialist Cheesemakers Association (NZSCA), NZ Cheese Month shines a light on the country’s exceptional cheese industry. Cheese enthusiasts and foodies are encouraged to celebrate the flavour, craftsmanship and sustainability of New Zealand cheese by buying local.
