MELBOURNE

Known for its food culture and surrounded, past city limits, by lush pastures, the Victorian capital is dotted with delicatessens and artisan producers offering fine cheeses. Montefiore, which celebrates traditional Italian recipes, delivered an award-winning trecce in this year’s dairy awards. Italian-style artisanal cheese producer That’s Amore, which weekly produces 250,000 bocconcini (below), took out the top Flavoured Cheese prize with a hand-crafted and smoked diavoletti.
