KING VALLEY DAIRY

Naomi Ingleton, a chef turned butter-maker, recently relocated her thriving butter business in Myrtleford to an old dairy factory in Moyhu, closed since the 1960s and now restored. Ingleton produces an impressive range of cultured butter, buttermilk, crème fraîche, ghee, buttermilk ricotta and butters flavoured with the likes of truffles, confit garlic, smoked salt and wild thyme. Customers take platters prepared at the dairy’s produce store and head across the road for lunch beside the river. Or they settle on the factory’s veranda with smoothies, fudge and ice-cream made from buttermilk.
