OUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Our story began way back in the 1800’s when Julien & Alice Brancourt emigrated from France. After establishing themselves, they purchased a 40-acre farm in North Bankstown where they first started making cheese using the authentic French recipes they brought with them.
When Julien was called up for duty during WW1, Alice expanded the family’s cheese production to help supplement their income. And thus one of Australia’s best “cottage” businesses was born.
Back then we made Brie, Camembert and, of course, a French farm-style cottage cheese which – thankfully – is still made the same way today.
We kept things simple back then and we’ve tried to keep things simple for four generations since. Quietly crafting new and interesting ways to enjoy our dairy goodness using only the purest ingredients and traditional ‘Batch Crafting’ techniques.
