What is a cheese tasting event, and what can I expect?

A cheese tasting event is a guided journey through a selection of fine cheeses. You can expect to learn about the origins, people behind the making and characteristics of each cheese, enjoy expertly paired wines and engage in lively discussions with fellow cheese lovers.

How do you make a cheese platter?

When making a cheese platter, you should start with a variety of high-quality cheeses, making sure to balance different textures and flavours. Add some fruit pastes, dried fruits & nuts, artisanal crackers and fresh sourdough bread, and make sure everything is arranged beautifully on a board or platter. If you need help designing a cheese platter that’s both visually appealing and delicious, we’re here to help!

What types of cheeses will be featured at your tasting events?

Our featured cheeses change often according to season and what’s eating best right now. We recommend regularly checking our website and social media to stay up to date with the latest selections for cheese tasting in Melbourne.

Can I expect wine pairings at your cheese tasting events?

Yes, our cheese tasting events include thoughtfully selected wine pairings that complement the flavours of each cheese.

Can I purchase cheese or wine at your tasting events?

Of course! After the wine and cheese tasting event, you’ll have the opportunity to buy any of the cheeses and wines you enjoyed, allowing you to recreate the experience at home.

Are your tasting events suitable for large groups or private gatherings?

Both can be arranged. We can accommodate large groups as well as offering private tastings for more intimate gatherings.

Do you offer cheese platter catering services for events?

We certainly do! Our cheese platter catering is perfect for any event, big or small. Let us know your preferences and we’ll create a cheese platter that’s sure to impress.

WHAT IS RACLETTE CHEESE, AND HOW DO I ENJOY IT?

Raclette is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, known for its smooth, creamy texture and slightly nutty flavour. It's traditionally melted and scraped over boiled potatoes, pickles and cured meats. Perfect for cosy gatherings, buy Raclette cheese if you’re after the ultimate comfort food!

WHAT MAKES A CHEESE A GOOD PAIRING WITH WINE?

A good cheese and wine pairing balances and enhances the flavours of both. Generally, it’s best to match intensity with intensity: bold cheeses with robust wines, and delicate cheeses with lighter wines. For example, a rich blue cheese pairs wonderfully with a sweet dessert wine, while a fresh goat cheese is delightful with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

DO YOU OFFER RAW CHEESE OPTIONS?

Yes, we do! We have various options for raw milk cheese in Melbourne that are full of character and depth of flavour.

CAN I BUY RACLETTE CHEESE FROM YOUR SHOP?

Absolutely! We offer Raclette cheese in Melbourne available for purchase in-store or online.

WHAT ARE THE BEST CHEESE AND WINE PAIRINGS FOR A DINNER PARTY?

For a standout dinner party, try pairing a creamy Brie with a sparkling Champagne, a tangy goat cheese with Sauvignon Blanc, or a robust aged Cheddar with a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. For more suggestions for cheese and wine in Melbourne, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR FROMAGERIE?

Our cheese shop in Melbourne is a haven for cheese enthusiasts. We source the finest cheeses from around the world, ensuring variety and quality. Our cheesemongers are always ready to help you find the perfect cheese for any occasion.

WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR STORING CHEESE TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS?

Keep your cheese in the vegetable drawer of your fridge, wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, and then loosely in plastic wrap or a plastic bag. This allows the cheese to breathe while retaining moisture. For softer cheeses, a sealed container works best to prevent the cheese from drying out.

WHAT TYPES OF CHEESES WILL BE FEATURED AT YOUR EVENTS?

The cheeses we feature at our events can change regularly. Check our website and socials to stay updated on our latest highlighted cheeses.

Supercheese | About Us

Supercheese is a specialty cheese shop in the heart of bustling Swan St in Richmond, the brainchild of long-term cheese professional and cheesemonger Jeremy Spradbery.

Jeremy has been in the world of food since the mid-nineties. He started his career working as a chef for some of Australia’s most renowned chefs, including Guillaume Brahimi, Tony Bilson, Jacques Reymond, Phillipe Mouchel and Jeremy Strode. He also served as head chef of Bistrot d’Orsay in Melbourne’s CBD. After leaving the kitchens, Jeremy worked for over a decade with cheese master Will Studd, travelling the world visiting cheesemakers and attending cheese festivals.

In 2012, Jeremy was only the third Australian to be inducted as Guard and Juror into the exclusive Guilde des Fromagers, a now global organisation protecting the traditions of artisanal cheese making.

Supercheese opened on Swan St in Richmond in December 2022. Our shop is a fun and relaxed retail space showcasing seriously good cheeses, focusing on benchmark cheeses produced locally and overseas, particularly raw milk cheeses. We also stock all the lovely things that go with cheese, including wines, specialty breads, crackers and condiments. In-store cheese tastings are regularly offered, allowing you to try before you buy.

Jeremy regularly hosts cheese and wine nights in the shop and offsite, giving people the opportunity to sample cheeses expertly matched with wines, beers or even spirits.

Supercheese is the place for all your cheese needs.
