Nimbin Valley Dairy is a fifth-generation family farm on Bundjalung Country, where Paul and Kerry Wilson and their three sons turned to small-batch cheesemaking after the deregulation of the dairy industry in 2000. With roots in regenerative farming and inspiration from French and Italian traditions, their journey took off in 2007 when Paul received the Dairy Australia Cheesemaking Scholarship. Today, from their ridge-top farm with sweeping valley views, they craft award-winning cow and goat milk cheeses that carry a true sense of place.

Gooey, luscious, and a striking addition to any cheese platter
Size: 150g, 700g
Form: round
Two days after making, the Nimbin Valley cheesemakers carefully slice the Tintenbar Triple Cream in half, coat it with grapevine ash, and then reunite the halves to mature. Once a traditional technique used to enhance ripening, today it lends both depth and a striking visual character to this luscious cheese.
Aging Guide
- At 3-4 weeks: Enjoy a chalky texture with a mild, creamy taste
- At 5-8 weeks: Experience the perfect balance of creamy ooze and buttery richness
- 8+ weeks: The cheese becomes more intense with caramel notes; rind may soften

Stuart Walsh Absolutely the best cheese tasted.

Jen All the cheese I purchased was absolutely delicious. The grazing box (apart from the salami, an oversight from a vegetarian), matched the cheese perfectly. I would highly recommend ordering these cheeses for any occasion.
