Savouring Success: A Brie-lliant Experience at the Sydney Bon Fromage Cheese Festival

If you’re a cheese enthusiast living in Sydney, you won’t want to miss out on the Bon Fromage Cheese Festival happening this weekend – from 31st May to 2nd June at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Sydney Opera House, this event promises an unforgettable experience for cheese lovers of all kinds and ages.

As I strolled through the event grounds, the sight of the Sydney Opera House in the background added an extra layer of magic to the already enchanting atmosphere. The sounds of a violinist playing nearby transported me to a scene straight out of Bridgerton.

But let’s talk about the real star of the show – the cheese! Guided by the charismatic Aurore Ghigo, I embarked on a tasting journey like no other. Aurore’s passion for cheese was infectious as she shared her expertise and taught us that cheese is not just food; it’s an experience that engages all the senses.

From the creamy Brie to the rich Camembert, each cheese was a delight for the taste buds. I even had the opportunity to taste a cheesecake made with Brie – a delightful and unexpected treat that perfectly balanced sweetness with the savory notes of the cheese.

But the cheese festival isn’t just about indulging in delicious cheeses – it’s also about exploring cheese used in a range of gourmet delights. I sampled mouth-watering dishes like Orleans Moules-Frites and St Jaques Scallops in a creamy wine, Camembert, and parsley sauce. These culinary creations perfectly complemented the cheese tasting experience and added an extra layer of indulgence to the event.

And let’s not forget about the stinky market, a cheese-lover’s paradise where foodies can explore a wide variety of French cheeses and bring home new favourites to share with their loved ones.

But the cheese festival isn’t just about indulging in delicious cheeses – it’s also about learning and discovery. I attended one of the free masterclasses led by expert cheese-makers, where I gained insights into the art of cheese-making, cheese pairing, and more. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cheese aficionado, these free masterclasses are a must-attend event.

So if you’re looking for a brie-lliant way to spend your weekend, head to the Bon Fromage Cheese Festival and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of cheese. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it! For further information, please click here.
