Woombye Cheese Company is operated by the O’Leary family in the Sunshine Coast hinterland surrounded by rolling green hills. Founded by Graeme and Karen Paynter in 2013, this beautiful, rural location was chosen for the lush pastures of the surrounding countryside knowing they would be able to source milk, fresh every day from the herds of Jersey and Friesian cows at neighbouring dairy farms. This small family business quickly grew, receiving accolades and finding its way to the tables of the most sought-after restaurants.
Today, Woombye Cheese Company is still making and maturing their award-winning range of handcrafted cheeses using traditional methods and locally sourced milk from this idyllic location.
