Gourmet Guide by Jo Blennerhassett of The Good Food Trading Co.

Over the Moon is based locally in Putaruru. They make handcrafted cheeses from locally sourced cow, goats, sheep and buffalo milk.

The range includes not only traditional hard cheeses like Cheshire and Romano, but also a tantalising family of soft cheeses and blues, plus some relatively undiscovered delights like haloumi and washed rind.

Over the Moon cheeses are traditionally crafted using modern-day recipes developed by internationally renowned Master Cheesemaker Neil Wilman.

Over the Moon uses non-animal rennet so that everyone, including vegetarians, can enjoy the cheese. The quality cheeses New Zealanders love to eat – such as camembert, feta and a variety of hard cheeses from Europe are all stocked at Good Food and the team from OTM will be in store this Friday, January 20 doing sampling to celebrate our first birthday.

Come in store for the chance to win a great range of giveaways from Over the Moon.
