AWASSI CHEESERY

At Awassi Cheesery, we breed the Awassi primarily for its milk - they are considered one of the best milking breeds in the world - for quality and quantity. The milk is naturally homogenised, high in fat and proteins, low in lactose, and makes exceedingly high-quality cheese. An absolute amazing milk to make cheese with!... There is plenty to see and do here at Awassi Cheesery whilst enjoying your cheese platters. Meet the girls (our beautiful Awassi Sheep), take a stroll, play a game of Frisbee Golf on the Orchard course, maybe a game of Botchy on the lawn, or you can pull up a chair under the avocado grove with your bottle of wine and relax... The wool is used for a variety of products. Specially selected fleeces are used for spinning and weaving - being made into floor mats - using local artists. Here at Awassi Cheesery, we use the wool as a garden mulch - a natural release of nitrogen into the soil from the wool also allows for natural plant growth.
