Bruny Island Cheese Company is owned and managed by Nick Haddow who produces traditional, artisan cheeses. Made with both cow’s and goat’s milk, with a focus on environmental sustainability and farming practices that produce the best milk possible, Nick’s cheeses are renowned as being some of the finest artisan cheeses in Australia. The 'cellar door’ of the cheesery is open Tuesdays to Sundays and so is the cafe attached to it. The cafe menu includes cheese platters but also organic sourdough bread straight from Nick Haddow’s wood-fired oven.
