Pecora Dairy celebrated a triumphant win at the Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Show after entering three cheeses and taking home gold for each of them. Bloomy, Yarrawa and Jamberoo Mountain Blue were the three winning types that Pecora entered into the competition. 

Owners Michael and Cressida Cains attributed their success to their belief that great cheese begins from the ground up with healthy soil and happy sheep. Michael says he is thrilled to have the high quality of his products confirmed with wins like these.  

Pecora Dairy’s consistently outstanding performance has earned them a spot as a finalist for the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s prestigious President’s Medal. Judged from a pool of several thousand exhibitors, Pecora Dairy is among the final six participants.

The award recognises not just the outstanding food and beverages entered, but also the producers who demonstrate excellence in sustainable, environmental, economic and social practices. It represents the highest honour for Australian producers as a testament to their commitment to ethical and responsible business operations. Winners will be announced on 27 March 2024.
