SECTION R3 – NON-COMMERCIAL CHEESE
DO IT YOUR WHEY!

Why not enter the Red Hill Show Homemade Cheese Competition?
Maybe you have attended a cheesemaking workshop and are creating some sensational cheese in your own kitchen, or maybe you have been making cheese to old family recipes handed down over generations. This event provides a forum for home cheese makers to exhibit their efforts in friendly competition with others; have their cheese or yoghurt tasted and commented upon by an acclaimed international cheese judge and maybe win the coveted title of Champion Non-Commercial Cheese of the
Red Hill Show.

The rules are simple. Non-commercial cheese makers must enter at least 100g of any style of cheese or yoghurt, which will then be put into categories by the judge. Please use the Cooking Entry Form (Section R3 in the Show Schedule) All entries must be presented on a disposable plate and it should be indicated how old the cheese is. As well as the prize for the Champion Non-Commercial Cheese, there will be a prize for Best Presented Cheese and all entrants will receive a Certificate of Participation.

Entries must be delivered to the Red Hill Cheese site in the Open Judging Marquee at the Showgrounds before 10am on the morning of the show. Open judging of cheese and yoghurt commences at 12 noon. People will be able to watch and listen to the judge's comments and helpful tips on the various styles of cheese judged.

This competition is proudly supported by Jan & Trevor Brandon of Red Hill Cheese who conduct Tutorial Tastings and Home Cheese Making Workshops at their Cheesery at 81 William Road, Red Hill. Information about Red Hill Cheese and dates for workshops etc can be found at redhillcheese.com.au or by telephoning (03) 5989 2035

OPEN JUDGING
This aspect of the Red Hill Show is proving very popular with competitors and the general public alike. A special Open Judging Marquee is located in the central grassed area of the Showgrounds, adjacent to the side entrance of the Craft/Cooking Pavilion. Selected Classes from the Schedule are judged in front of an audience so people can see just what a judge looks for when awarding a prize. Our judges at Red Hill are very experienced, highly qualified people who are happy to share their decision-making processes with the audience and answer questions people may have regarding the
classes being judged.
