As a kid, one of my favourite things to do was to go to Kenilworth Park and spin ‘round and ‘round and ‘round on the giant tyre swing until I felt dizzy. One park visit was also coupled with a tour of the relatively new Kenilworth Cheese factory, which sat on the opposite side of the road. Donning hairnets, clear goggles and paper booties, we were guided around the small factory as the cheese-making process was explained. Today, the Kenilworth Cheese factory is still going strong and has expanded into Kenilworth Country Foods. As one of Queensland largest privately owned and operated cheese factories, it uses milk from surrounding farms to produce over twenty varieties of cheese. Of these varieties, Cooloola Cheddar has always been a family favourite – a mild flavoured, smooth cheese that is matured for six weeks before packing and is perfect for adding to salads or using in homemade ravioli. And only an hour’s drive north of Brisbane, Kenilworth Cheese sits perfectly within our 100-mile diet radius. Try some yourself from the source (Kenilworth Cheese factory offers free cheese tasting seven days a week) or alternatively, you can find it many places in Brisbane including Zone Fresh Gourmet Markets. And if you do visit the factory, don’t forget to swing by the awesome adventure playground that still sits opposite.
