MOULD: A Cheese Festival SYDNEY 2024

Mould, Australia’s biggest cheese festival returns for 2024 – bigger, smellier, and more 'matured' than ever.

In brie-lliant news for Australian fromage freaks, the country's most popular cheese event is set to return in triumphant form this year –– with a killer line-up, and a fully loaded platter of tasty accoutrements on the side. 

Uniting cheese connoisseurs, pecorino pals and curd nerds all around the country, Mould (presented by Revel, the team behind Pinot Palooza), has become synonymous with celebrating top-quality Australian artisan cheese and all-round good times since entering the whey fray in 2017.

Showcasing up to 80 varieties that span hard to soft, textured to earthy, stinky to mild, with raw milk varieties and everything in between, there will be dairy delights to suit every palate at this year’s Australia-wide Mould celebrations, kicking off in Brisbane this May before heading to Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney (that's you!) and then Perth.
