What do you get when sheep, camel, goat and Jersey milk farmers join forces after flood devastation? A “collaboration cheese” so complex to make, “it’s like the truffle of the cheese world,” says Dallas Davidson of Towri Sheep Cheeses.
The farm, in south-east Queensland’s Scenic Rim region, was among many impacted by 2022’s repeated flooding events. Unable to milk their cherished herd of Awassi sheep, Dallas and her mother, Carolyn Davidson, were down to the milk supply stored in their freezer – not enough to mature their award-winning hard cheeses in time to fulfil orders.
