22.01.2022 An exciting concept restaurant coming to Melbourne’s CBD. @chefalejandrosaravia is passionate about our region and the quality of food produced, I know he’s going to approach this menu with real care and I can’t wait to be a part of it. Repost @farmersdaughters_gippsland We have partnered with Butterfly Factory to supply our restaurant with ethically made dairy products. It's becoming increasingly difficult to know the source of the products we consume, however we're pr...oud to say that this product is made locally and is of the highest quality. @butterflyfactory_gippsland #gippsland #eatdrinkgippsland #farmersdaughters #microdairy #dairylove #westgippsland #madeingippsland #sustainablerestaurant #ethicalfood #newrestaurant See more

12.01.2022 Farmer DC is the brainchild of a few folk with plenty of collective experience and knowhow in the industries of food, distribution logistics and tech seeking to better service both the consumer and the producer of fresh food here in Victoria. I am excited to be a part of their initial test phase for getting fresh, local produce to the customer via the most direct and efficient route possible with multiple benefits to both buyer and seller. Check out their offering www.farmer...dc.com #Repost @farmerdcmelbourne Rachel Needoba cheese and yogurt maker and Rob Monk who takes a different approach to dairy farming to supply the milk. @farmerdcmelbourne excited to offer the cheese and yogurt from this unique team. @butterflyfactory_gippsland @vikingfleckvieh @beccorestaurant @lamaroshotel SHOP in bio #knowyourfarmer #buyfromthebush #southgippsland #farmdirect #farmerdirect

11.01.2022 Bunyip Rural Supplies Store is one of my newest customers. They’ve recently put a display fridge in their drive-through so you can buy local dairy when you pick up your farm supplies. It made my day when they contacted me about stocking Butterfly Factory yoghurt and cheese: it’s the kind of community support and initiative that makes the heart swell. And, it just happens to be housed in one of the handsomest tin sheds around! . . #bunyipruralsupplies #bunyip #microdairy #dairylove #gippsland #westgippsland #supportsmall #businesssupport #goodpeople #shoplocal

11.01.2022 In such great company at Maker & Monger #cheese

08.01.2022 Look at these amazing pears! Thanks for this beautiful still life photo @isolachianina and the idea for a pairing (no pun intended) with Chamela. This little cheese is very versatile: its fresh, creamy curd will contrast favourably with the crispy flesh of a slice of pear or the ruffled flake of a finely shaved black truffle - from South Gippsland of course! Possibly my favourite so far.... Have you found a favourite way with Chamela? Repost @isolachianina After school snack today is @butterflyfactory_gippsland Chamela, a fresh lactic cows milk cheese, served with red angel pears. It tasted as heavenly as it sounds. You can get yours via the Farmer dc website (link in bio) for local pick up next Friday. @farmerdcmelbourne #buyfromthebush #knowyourfarmer #realfood #wholefoods #yourdollaryourvote #microdairy #gippsland #westgippsland #madeingippsland #dairylove @ Glen Alvie, Victoria, Australia

07.01.2022 Sometimes weekend dinners look a little bit like this - paired with wine (of course). Find your favourite cheesemonger and hold them tight. Try the Chamela with a little bit of raw honey and thyme. It's a great snack but it's also great on fresh sourdough for breakfast. #freshcheese

04.01.2022 I’m so happy to tell you that my ‘Chamela’ fresh lactic curd cheese has been selected as a State Winner in the 2020 Delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards. As a relatively new product release and the first of my cheeses to go to market, this is particularly exciting. Rob Monk farms some pretty special milk from his Fleckvieh herd in the beautiful valley of East Poowong, and I guess that’s what has really caught people’s attention. So thank you Rob and thanks to our custome...rs for your support and positive feedback. Congratulations to all the other State winners across the country and especially to those in the Victorian dairy category. - delicious. magazine Harvey Norman #dairylove #microdairy

04.01.2022 If you are in the Warragul area you probably already know about the treasure to be found in the Stella's Pantry deli. They have some Chamela in stock now if you’d like to try one or both of the below suggestions #freshcheese #dairylove

03.01.2022 Victoria and her partner Stuart live in a small clearing amidst the forest at Turton’s Creek in South Gippsland. Here they grow a gorgeous selection of flowers as well as stewarding the rest of their land which is protected from development by a bush conservancy covenant. Their Sunrise Organic Flowers can be found in the Prom Coast Food Collective shop on the Open Food Network or you can sign up for a csa (community supported agriculture) share. For a taste of their beautifu...l flowers, you might also try this delightful edible posy sold with a Chamela, a fresh lactic curd cheese we make from cows milk. The idea is to plate the cheese, garnish with herbs and flowers and have some honey or olive oil on hand to accompany if necessary. Please send me a photo of your cheese plate if you like! Repost from @sunriseorganicflowers using @RepostRegramApp - Today’s @butterflyfactory_gippsland chamela with edible @sunriseorganicflowers and herbs. This one is caraway, calendula and cornflower with fennel frond, chive and borage. We’ll pick our favourites each week and you can order from the @promcoastfoodcollective shop at: https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/prom-coast-food-co-op/shop #certifiedorganic #flowers #edibleflowers #cheese #cheeseandflowers

03.01.2022 Do photos like this make you happy? A bounty of fresh whole food grown or made locally. You can access great food networks like this near you, wherever you are.

02.01.2022 On this I’d like to say a big thank you to this wonderful herd and to farmer Rob Monk who is up in these beautiful cold dawns tending to his cows. Without this historic combination, there would be no Butterfly Factory milk, yoghurt or cheese. Thank you dairy farmers all over the world. _ Image @vikingfleckvieh #workdmilkday #thankafarmer

01.01.2022 There are still a few left of these gorgeous organic edible herb and flower posies paired with my Chamela but orders close at 4pm today. Repost @sunriseorganicflowers Butterfly Factory Chamela with Sunrise Organic Edible Flowers and Herbs AVAILABLE NOW at: https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/prom-coast-food-co-op/shop ... Chamela is a fresh, lactic cows’ milk cheese with a fine, mousse-like texture and a fresh milky taste that is simple and appealing. Toss the torn or chopped flowers and herbs over the cheese for a dash of garden-fresh colour and flavours. from @butterflyfactory_gippsland and @sunriseorganicflowers available at Prom Coast Food Collective The Chamela: Rob milks a herd of 130 or so Fleckvieh cows once a day in the beautiful valley of Poowong East. The cows eat hay and grass exclusively, no grain is fed. No synthetic fertilisers or pesticides are used on farm and herbicide is spot sprayed on blackberry, thistle and ragwort only. Rachel gently batch pasteurises the milk, then inoculates it with lactic acid bacteria. A couple of hours later, a tiny amount of rennet is added and overnight the milk sets. The following day, the buckets of coagulated milk are ladled into crottin moulds and the whey drains away. The remaining curd is flipped and salted with Olsson’s sel gris on both sides then delivered to the customer the day after that. The posy: Beauty and sustainability go hand in hand at Sunrise Organic Flowers. We’re certified organic and farm gently in a small glade within the covenant protected Mountain Ash, Blackwood and Tree-Fern forest we steward. For this collaboration, Victoria has added heartsease, nasturtium, geranium and yarrow to her flower collection. Each week we will select the best of our edible flowers and bunch them with sprigs of our garden herbs. We harvest in the cool of the morning to maintain the freshness and vibrancy of our flowers. #certifiedorganic #flowers #edibleflowers #cheese #cheeseandflowers

01.01.2022 Are you looking for our milk? You may have noticed an absence of Butterfly Factory milk bottles on the shelves of your favourite grocer. This has been due to the fact that that I couldn’t source 1L glass bottles. The earlier bottle I used was Australian made and has since been discontinued. The ‘new’ bottle is made in China and will take several weeks to ship once the boat departs, the ETA is sometime in June. You may also have noticed Tarago Valley Organics milk in 750ml gla...ss bottles in their place. Sophia Jones has been batch pasteurising her family farm’s milk and hand bottling it at Butterfly Factory. This is fresh, organic, local milk too and I am so pleased they are putting it in a bottle. Please give it a try if you haven’t already. This is dairy with provenance and I’m delighted that there’s another single origin milk from our lush part of Gippsland out there for people to drink. For the moment, as bottle returns accumulate, I occasionally do a pre-sold batch for the Prom Coast Food Collective Should you find yourself hankering for some of Rob Monk’s Fleckvieh milk, this is where you might find some. Bottles are still available in the current cycle which closes on Monday afternoon or sooner if customer numbers reach their limit. _ Thanks for the lovely image Cheffields via Locavore Photography and Avonsleigh General Store
