What's next?David Doepel describes himself as "crazy" while standing in the middle of an artisanal cheese factory in the South West of Western Australia.
It was also back in 2021 when the pair made another purchase, a historic farm 160 kilometres south of Perth known as Melville Park. So how does one go from an over-the-counter cheesemaking kit to a fully functional artisanal cheese factory? David and Barbara believe making cheese at Melville Park seemed "like a natural piece of the puzzle of the property".The milk used to make the cheese comes from a local dairy farmer and is then pasteurised in a 500-litre cheese kettle purchased by the couple.When asked if he is making and selling a luxury product, the cheesemaker disagrees.
