An Evansdale Moment

Superb handcrafted cheeses from the Dennison Family

At Evansdale Cheese, Otago.

They've been in operation since 1980.

I love the fact that they've now set up their factory in the old Cherry Farm mental hospital.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'mad about cheese.' www.evansdalecheese.co.nz

Say Cheese

I have added to my box collection – or, to be more precise, to my ‘sub-collection’ of “Boxes with Writing On.” It came from the new Petrini Restaurant, Wine Bar and Delicatessen at Ferrymead, here in Christchurch. It’s a French cheese box from their fabulous cheese room, which any greedy cheese lover ought to make a bee-line for. And now to the question I keep asking myself - Is it wrong, weird even, to be so excited by a cheese box? www.petrini.co.nz
