Local Meats
Classico Style Free Range Salami Our Classico salami with a medium grind is incredibly versatile. Available in the original recipe or with chilli piccante. Add to your sandwiches or to top your favourite pizza. Delicious with a Barossa shiraz.
Garlic & Fennel Infused Free Range Salami Finocchiona is a mild and subtly anise-like, fennel-flavoured aromatic salami. Slices should be prepared paper thin. Fabulous when served with a fine Champagne, camembert and pear.
Free Range Truffle Salami This heady salami has the deep earthy aroma that only fine black truffles impart. Hand-crafted and slow-aged to bring out the rich flavour, our truffle salami is a spectacular addition to your next grazing board, paired with a medium-bodied merlot.
Free Range Mortadella A classic salumi, Mortadella is a favourite among Italian children. Made with minced free range pork and hand cut pork fat, our Mortadella is delicately cured and slow cooked, which results in a smooth and creamy pork flavour. Slice it paper thin and enjoy it on its own, or layer it in a panini. Available in the original flavour, black pepper or with fresh Australian truffles and our Salumi family favourite pistachio. We like to enjoy ours with a glass of sangiovese.
Spicy Spreadable Salami Pronounced ‘en-door-ya’, this spreadable and notoriously spicy salami originates from the southeast of Calabria. Allow it to rest at room temperature before spreading it on warm bread with a ripe cheese. This flexible spread can also be crumbled over pizza or added to passata as a flavoursome replacement to chilli in any dish.
Free Range Chorizo A fermented and semi-dried Spanish-style sausage, Chorizo is best served cooked to infuse the flavours of the chilli and paprika with the pork. When placed on a medium-hot grill, the classic Chorizo releases its sweet, and smoky paprika oil, while the chilli variety promises an extra layer of zing for the palate. Our versatile chorizo can be scored and served whole on its own, or added to sauces, rice, and pasta dishes. Pair with a dry lager or tempranillo.
Award winning bacon which smoke the ‘old fashioned’ way with natural hardwood, giving our it a beautiful aroma and flavour which will keep you coming back for more.
We have called this the Pure Sausage as the meat only includes wild venison, and despite having a low fat content, the texture is beautiful, just be sure to take these off the heat as soon as cooked through. For those who don’t eat pork, please be aware that the casing used is still a hog casing.
These sausages have no additives (like fillers).

This wildly popular and highly addictive spread is a unique blend of our wild smoked fish with raw macadamia cream, topped with Grumpy Grandma’s extra virgin olive oil. It is delicious served chilled on toast or crackers, with slices of pickled gherkin. Among its numerous accolades, it has won for 3 years running the top Gold medal in the ‘Dip’ category at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show (2018 & 2019 & 2021). Renowned TV Chef Pete Evans has called it “one of the best flavours ever”, whilst Head Chef at Vue du Monde Shannon Bennet says “It’s something I search for every week” at the local farmer's markets.
Nimbin Valley Dairy
Our blue is rich, smooth and creamy with just the right amount of blueing. With distinct umami flavours, mellowing with age, becoming soft and spreadable with distinct fruity notes. Serve it with intensely sweet dried or fresh fruit, or fruit paste, and crackers. In our house its served decadently with cultured butter!
Brooklet brie is modern interpretation of the classic brie de meaux and made under our Byron Bay label. Pure white mould rind, ageing to cream and caramel hues with a soft creamy paste when mature. With flavour notes of mushroom and milk, everyone will enjoy this cheese. Pre-wrapped and portioned, perfect for a picnic!
Monte Nardi is Australia’s first truly original regional cheese. Early Italian settlers to the Northern Rivers made and matured this cheese under their houses, using their milk; it made an excellent table cheese at only a few weeks of age. As it matured, becoming more flavoursome and harder, it was grated and used on pasta dishes. Paul spent time at the local Italian retirement village listening to their stories and how they made this cheese. So happy to share their skills and knowledge, Paul went home, followed their detailed recipes and monte nardi was created! Mount Nardi (Monte = Mountain) rises behind our farm and stands sentinel over the region, visible from the coast to the Great Divide; the Nardi family is one of the pioneering Italian families in Nimbin with many descendants still in the area. We make this cheese as a tribute to, and celebration of, all the good things that cultural diversity has brought to our region.
If you’re looking for something more than the standard bloomy white mould cheese, more than just simple mushroom and milky/cream flavours, white cow is for you! Reminiscent of the great raw milk bries of northern France this cheese has barn-yard and ripe fruit/berry flavour notes, with ahint of cauliflower when mature and of course the complex grass flavours that come from our milk Even people with jaded cheese palates will come back for more of this cheese.
Cheeses Loves You (Burringbar)
There is nothing nicer than handmade halloumi! Cheese maker, Debra Allard only makes small batches fresh every week and the curd is gently pressed before it is placed back in the hot whey to cook. This gives the halloumi the squeak. The haloumi is packed into zip locked bags and cold salt brine is added. The salt is the only way to preserve the haloumi and if you find the haloumi is too salty then take the piece of cheese that you intend to use out of the bag and wash the curd with hot water. The hotter the water the more salt removed. Always keep the remaining curd in the zip lock bag as this will keep the haloumi preserved until the best-before date.
Dried chilli flakes and pure olive oil are enough to give the feta a little hot kick but not overpowering.
Dried Australian Thyme and pure olive oil infuse the herb and give a subtle flavour.
The salty feta is perfect to add to a salad, or frittata or spread it on a cracker with some avocado and cracked pepper.
Jarlsberg was very popular in the 70’s and it is great to bring it into the 21 st century. Another semi hard cheese that has a beautiful yeasty nutty flavour. It looks like butter with the golden Jersey milk used from the Allard's farm and the holes appear with the use of propionic bacteria that expands any spaces in the cheese with carbon dioxide. This is unlike any commercial Jarlsberg you have tasted as, with all the Cheeses Loves You cheeses,no preservatives are used to extend the use by date.
I started off with a Stilton style Blue cheese recipe and started tweeking the recipe about a year ago. The cheese now is milder, softer and has a lovely creamy flavour due to that beautiful Jersey milk. It even has non blue eaters addicted! Penicilium Roqufortii is added to the milk when making this cheese to create the blue colour and flavour. A porous curd kept in the hoop at room temperature for 5 days allows the blue to slowly creep all the way through the curd and means no piercing is required. It also means the outer rind is surrounded by blue mould and some other brevi linens bacteria (the pink and grey colours)
This is a lovely tasty cheese and is suitable for cooking with or just on a cheese platter with some lovely homemade pickles.
The Peppery is a Romano style cheese so a little piquant in flavour with an Australian Cracked Pepper added towards the end of the cheese making. The Pepper is boiled before adding to the curd and the peppery water spreads.
This is a semi hard cheese and is ready to eat 6 weeks after being made. The rind is scrubbed with a salt brine to develop the salty flavour and enhance the red/orange colour. The taste has a salty burnt butter with a soft paste.
