Cheese experts Sam and Ellie Studd (aka The Studd Siblings) will offer a unique glimpse into some of the world’s best cheeses - we invite you to join them as they share their passion for farmhouse artisanal cheeses and enthusiasm for understanding what good cheese is all about. A Cheese Evening with the Studd Siblings is an opportunity to taste some of their favourites matched with the perfect wines from the SIMON JOHNSON Wine Store.
About: The Studd family joke is that their veins run with brie instead of blood, so it’s no great surprise that siblings Ellie and Sam Studd share their father’s passion for cheese. The pair spent childhood family holidays visiting artisan farmhouse producers in Europe and snacking on rare mountain cheeses and cave-ripened blues. Back home in Australia, their school lunches often contained cheeses of the soft and stinky variety and, at times, the siblings had to explain to their friends why their dad Will Studd, was known locally as the ‘Roquefort Rebel’. Over the last decade, Ellie and Sam have travelled Australia and the world, working with celebrated mongers and makers, and learning to make, mature and sell cheese.
Both Ellie and Sam are members of the International Guilde Des Fromagers, and they are ACS Certified Cheese Professionals (CCPs). They spend their time hand-picking artisan cheeses alongside their dad for the ‘Selected by Will Studd’ range and working to share these cheeses with the US and Australian markets. They are also passionate about education – working closely with cheesemongers and chefs, running masterclasses, and contributing regularly to food magazines including Delicious Australia Magazine, Broadsheet, and Good Food. They released their first book called The Best Things in Life are Cheese in 2023.
