(490)

story began in 2001 when it was first founded as Colin James Fine Foods, opening on Maple St, Maleny. Starting out as a café and fromagerie, our gelato and sorbet was made daily on site in traditional artisan style. As word spread and the awards began to accumulate, our name became synonymous with ‘truly amazing’ gelato. Since those early days we have continued to expand our operations, using arti

san techniques in our purpose-built manufacturing facility in Maleny, Queensland, and our products can now be found in a growing number of restaurants, gelato shops, boutique grocers and cafes. We now welcome a new chapter in our story, and while our name has changed, our values and the quality of our award winning gelato and sorbet remain the same. Our vision is to create an integrated business of food manufacturing, food retailing and food tourism, built on a strong connection to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We are passionate about showcasing Maleny, the surrounding region, its people, produce and stories. We invite you to visit us at our store in Maple Street, Maleny, to experience our walk-in fromagerie, select from our range of local produce, enjoy a coffee, or the deli-style dining and of course, try our delicious gelato and sorbet.

Fromagerie Fridays | BRIE vs CAMEMBERT | Ep 9 🧀

Brie vs Camembert… what’s the difference? 👀

They might look like close cousins, but they’re not the same cheese.

Brie is the elder of the two — with roots tracing back to the Middle Ages, centuries before Camembert became famous in Normandy.

Different origins. Different traditions. And, as Jonny explains, a few key differences in the cheese flavour and texture itself.

🥂 And the perfect match? Champagne. Crisp acidity cutting straight through all that glorious creaminess.

So… Team Brie or Team Camembert? Let us know below👇

Fromagerie Fridays | Ep 8 🍷🐐

What happens when you take a Spanish goat’s cheese… and soak it in red wine? 👀

You get Cabra al Vino - affectionately known as “Drunken Goat.” 🇪🇸

During maturation, the cheese is bathed in red wine, staining its rind a striking deep purple and imparting subtle fruity notes to the beautifully smooth, creamy goat’s milk beneath.

It’s mild, slightly tangy, wonderfully moreish and definitely one to try if you think you’re not a goat’s cheese person.

🍷 Jonny keeps things Spanish this week, pairing it with a Spanish red - bringing juicy fruit and gentle spice to the party.

Fromagerie Fridays | Ep 7 🐐

It’s Goat’s Cheese Month… so we’re heading to the hills of La Rioja, Spain. 🇪🇸

This week’s feature is Los Cameros - a brand new arrival to our shelves, and one we’re especially excited to share with you.

Cave-aged, this Spanish goat’s cheese is firm, beautifully full-flavoured and layered with hints of wild herbs. Its natural rind is traditionally washed with olive oil baths, and as such it develops an exceptionally smooth texture and a rich, lingering finish.

Jonny pairs it with a South Australian Tempranillo 🍷 - a vibrant red whose bright fruit and gentle spice perfectly complement the richness of the cheese while allowing its distinctive character to shine.

🐐 Goat’s Cheese Myth #1: It always tastes “goaty.”

Not true.

Many goat’s cheeses are surprisingly delicate, with fresh citrus and herb notes, a creamy texture and a beautiful clean finish.

This stunning Flower Power by Kris Lloyd is proof. Semi-hard goat’s cheese adorned with edible seasonal flowers, it’s as beautiful to eat as it is to look at. 🌸

So if you’ve written off goat’s cheese… perhaps you just haven’t met the right one yet 😍

Happy Goat’s Cheese Month. 🧀

Fromagerie Fridays | Ep 6 🧀🐐

Some cheeses don’t need to shout to be unforgettable.

To celebrate the beginning of National Goat’s Cheese Month, this week’s feature is Cablanca Goat’s Cheese from the Netherlands - silky, fresh and delicately tangy, with a beautiful balance that wins over even those who think they don’t like goat’s cheese 😉

Jonny pairs it with a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc for a pairing that’s bright, refreshing and effortlessly elegant.
