Little Creek Cheese at Wyong was honestly one of the best parts of visiting the Wyong Milk Factory. The cheeses were so fresh, unique, and full of flavour, and you can tell straight away that this is not just regular supermarket-style cheese. They have a really interesting range, including different flavoured cheddars, marinated cheeses, feta, and haloumi, and it was actually fun trying something a bit different.
The owner was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. He took the time to talk about the cheeses and you could tell there’s a lot of passion behind what they do. The quality really speaks for itself, and it makes sense that people rate this place highly for handmade, local cheese.
The only small feedback I have is about the marinated cheese jars. I personally would have loved it more if they used olive oil instead of canola oil, as that would have made it feel a bit more premium for us. Apart from that, everything else was great.
Overall, the place is definitely worth the hype. Fresh cheese, unique flavours, friendly service, and a proper local handmade feel. I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Wyong Milk Factory.
Such a nice combo with wine.
Greeted by an elderly gentleman who just rattled off a generic spiel about the cheeses. Was offered a tasting but one tiny cube of cheese on a stick - no explanation of the cheese or perhaps a few different cheeses to try or perhaps a cracker to give it some context
The shop is so disappointing , just a few old fridges , could have been a real experience with a nice shop and a employee who had a real interest in being there
My other gripe is the packaging, all the cheeses are just vacuum packed in clear plastic - sure that might be good for the cheese, but we buy with our eyes, why not a nice wrapping and a decent logo, would really enhance the product
Finally the price was ridiculous for the product and the experience $16.50 for 150g. That’s $110 per kg, you can get a wonderful top shelf French blue for $55 per kg
My summary is that the business has lost its interest in its product and its customers . Go to a specialist cheese shop or even Harris Farm Market you will get a much better cheese, an someone who really cares and knows about cheese
I asked what they had at the moment, he rattled off the list I could plainly see, I followed up with what his favourite would be then, he countered with it all depends on what's left over at the end of the day.
I did try a very small piece of their cheddar which was offered when another group were in the shop. It tasted ok, not very sharp, I think there was also a hint of mould on the back palate, not really to my liking.
It was awkward, I left.
I will strike this one down to dodging a bullet for how much they were charging.
Fig & Walnut Cheddar - well above average
Blink and you’ll miss it; the shop is barely big enough for a twin fridge and counter to pay at. The older guy serving me was entirely obnoxious. The cheese is some of the best I’ve ever had but was also very very expensive for the size of them! The cheese is 5/5, the service is 0/5 hence 3/5 overall
Bollito Pasta has moved out of the Old Wyong Milk Factory, which, despite a thriving cafe, had a whiff of faded tourist attraction about it. I picked up pasta instead at their West Gosford store, however I did pick up a slightly pricy sapphire blue cheese ($16.50/150grams) from Little Creek at this old milk factory store. They happily give out free samples wearing a mask and gloves, but only of their own cheeses, not for example, the hard goat milk cheese you can see in the fridge.
They have a dry gin cheddar as well as a bacon one (similar in flavour to a smoked cheese).
Can try before you buy. Shop assistant was informative and friendly. Recommend a quick pit stop!
