Hunter Valley Cheese Factory Co PL

"The place was really lovely with friendly and helpful staff. Cheese tasting platter is a must try! You get to choose which cheese to try and all of them were really tasty. It’s a good hangout place to spend with your loved ones with a cheesy treat to go! Have fun! Recommendations- Blue cheese, Green chedar cheese."

"Nice employees and tasty cheese, but prices were a bit high. We booked in advance a $50 per person artisan cheese and cheese making 101 course but the cheese we had for tasting were not much different from the $15 platters we saw other ppl had, with the only other difference being 2 small glasses of wine and someone to explain the cheese making process yo you. Would recommend to visit and try a platter but no need to book the more expensive experiences (which can go up to $200 for making your own cheese)"

"We went there for a $15.50 each cheese tasting. Beforehand, we checked out their cheese in the shop. Their pricing was extremely excessive. First a staff member brought us the $37.00 platter by mistake. Then they changed it for the $15.50 platter. Despite what the owner's response is to other reviews, our platter was of very poor value for money. The cheese portions were extremely small for the price, definitely not 20 grams per piece (around one flat teaspoon per serve) as the owner states in response to previous reviews. Maybe 20 grams in total. The five pieces were either over salted or had no taste. While we were there, there was only an other couple and a family of three tasting. No one bought any of their cheese. Recently we been in Amsterdam where we went to a free cheese tasting of 32 different varieties. The samples were smaller and one was allowed as many that wanted. People were queuing up to buy. We also stocked up. We noticed that one of the Cheese Factory take away cheese platter costing $47.00, and a very similar one at the Smelly Cheese Shop across the road was going for $25.00."

"We had a cheese tasting session which was around $15pp. The lady who served us was very kind and gave us a run down of the different types of cheese, dips and crackers. The experience was very pleasant and the cheese was delicious especially the Hunter gold washed rind. You are also welcome to browse their store where they sell a variety of cheeses, crackers, dips and oils, however it is on the pricey side. Overall it is a good place to visit and to experience some cheese tastings."
