ashgrove tasmanian farm cheese

We could take or leave the other cheeses, they were alright but not nice enough to justify the price. But ! Then we tasted the wasabi cheese...now *that* was worth paying $22/kg...! Their milk and flavoured milk are also exceptionally tasty :)

Good range of cheeses and other local produce. Local pastes to go with cheese. Icecreams as well. Vintage cheese particularly good

There's samples to try and definitely something to bring home! We bought a good selection of cheese that lasted for the next few months! My favourite was the wasabi cheese!!

We visited this site hoping to see cheese production. Sadly, this is not the case. It's just a shop flogging their cheese and a few other Tassie gourmet foods at exorbitant prices. You can buy their cheese in any supermarket in Australia so this is not a special stop at all. By all means pull in to take a picture of the painted model cows if you fancy. You can even purchase a platter and sit outside for a break but hey, you can do that anywhere.

Interesting place to stop when driving along north coast of Tasmania. Good value cheese platters and excellent icecreams. Watching cheese being made is also very interesting.

We visited Asgrove Cheese on the way to catch The Spirit of Tasmania it is well worth the stop and you may see the cheese being made. They have a great shop that sells their cheeses and other Tasmanian goodies.

We hired a car from Launceston for the day and visited Ashgrove, plus the local raspberry farm (Christmas Hills) and chocolatier (Anver).We enjoyed a small cheese platter at Ashgrove, they also have samples of their cheeses so you can try them too. Ashgrove also do online purchases so you can enjoy their cheeses when you go back home!Free parking is located at all 3 places.

So enjoyable that we visited twice!Great to be able to see the cheeses being made and to be able to taste all the cheeses- not just the ones that were out for tasting. Lovely coffee, too!

A wide variety of cheeses in a wide variety of sizes. They have cheeses available for tasting, and if there's something specific you want to try they'll get some out for you.There's also a window where you can view some of the cheese production process, and a cafe to buy food and drinks.They also have a variety of products from other Tasmanian producers, such as honey, marmalades, syrups, and drinks.You can even get their dairy products from supermarkets around the state, which also taste great.

We called in to taste the cheeses recently and were really taken with the beautiful cows and the chance to taste real cheese that actually has flavour! So much cheese from supermarkets is so bland that if you were blindfolded you would hardly know it was cheese, but at Ashgrove the tastes are real. We really like their wasabi cheese and bought a kilo of it, yum!

This was a worthwhile stop. The cheese making facilities are in plain view and the store is filled with plenty of great Tasmanian stock. Great tasting plates too.

We stopped here after the raspberry farm. I wanted to get some cheeses before I headed back to Cairns.Don't expect a lot, it's just a shop that you can buy cheese. There is also other Tasmanian products (chocolate, honey etc) I never know what kind of cheese to buy, as I'm a bit fussy, so I headed to the tasting plates. There were no cheese to try. I ended up buying cheese that was in the little taster packs which were of a good variety to give to people back home. Due to the fact that there were no tasters (and our friend asked if more was being put out which they weren't) I didn't end up buying anything for myself. In all honesty, I could have bought them back home in the supermarket for a couple more dollars and not have to worry about carrying them back. There were some that I haven't seen I n supermarkets before, but due to the fact that I didn't know what they tasted like, I didn't bother buying them.There's great potential in the store, but failed to impress unfortunately.

I love this place. Plenty to taste, see and do! The cheese is to die for. Love the lunch platters. Friendly staff.

What I love apart from all the cheeses of course is that they use non animal rennet in their cheese. There is a couple of viewing rooms and an area where you can watch a video, there's lots of info and things to see. There's a lot of Tasmanian produced items like soap, honey, alcohol, icecream, a cafe area and samples of cheese for tasting. Well worth a visit.

This was our second time here, our travelling friends had never been & were quite surprised at the layout of this facility. Great to try the variety of cheeses on display. A variety of local products to purchase & the viewing room with all that cheese was amazing. Service was quick considering they had a tour group of school children. Bought rolls & a variety of products to enjoy later in our hotel room & couldn't fault at all. Love the cows painted in the entrance & car park. Recommend a visit here.
