Of the Garden Route’s many treats, this is the one that makes cheese fanatics shiver with pleasure. Alje van Deemder, microbiologist and prize-winning cheese-maker, handcrafts goats and cows milk cheese – his Formosa goats milk cheese in ash and Gruyère won prizes at the 2007 World Cheese Awards in London. Lunch consists of straight-from-the-oven crusty bread, a pile of cheeses and a selection of salads made from Alje’s garden bounty. Whether you savour the soft mozzarella, creamy thyme-laden chevin or the well-matured sweet milk, textured with cumin seeds, you really can’t go wrong. Along with lunch, your host, the affable cheese-maker himself, is happy to fill you in on his fascinating craft. Most of what you eat (including the bread) is available to purchase and take home.
