Continuing our Year 9/10 Tasing Timboon Food tech elective exploration of the various businesses that make up the 12 Apostles Food Artisan Trail, we welcomed into our classroom, Julian Benson from Apostle Whey Cheese. Julian described how Apostle Whey was created, the planning and training prior to the new business commencing and the evolution of a range of products including cheese, full cream milk and gelato. As a single origin dairy farm, Julian described the pathway of his farm’s milk from the dairy through pasteurization and then it is made into cheese or bottled for milk or churned for gelati. Julian described the thought processes involved in marketing their products with a none too subtle connection to our region to remind tourists of their adventures. Students were fortunate enough to sample a range of cheese could describe the texture and flavour of Lochard Ard Gorgeous Camembert, Southern Brieze Brie, Smear Ripened Harvati, Heytesbury Harvest Pepper, Heytesbury Harvest Chilli, Apostle Whey Crumble Fetta and Bay of Martyrs Blue Vein. He encouraged students to find what they were passionate about, to enjoy what they do in their lives as this will drive them to strive in their chosen field and to back themselves! Thanks Julian!
