Our Story
Discover the Heritage of Cambray Cheese Farm
Cambray Sheep Cheese is a small family-operated business run by the Wilde Family which has achieved remarkable success since opening in 2005. The unique range, all awarded gold medals, includes soft white-mould cheeses, a traditional Greek style feta, and a variety of matured cheese including the famous Farmhouse Gold.Cambray’s vision was borne from Jane’s passion for dairy, which stemmed from her childhood of helping her mother milk their house cow and churn butter in Karragullen, paired with Bruce’s experience in sheep, growing up on a sheep farm in Pingelly. This led them to purchase a farm on the outskirts of Nannup in 1995.The former policeman and nurse begun the journey by importing 3 East Friesian milking sheep into Western Australia in 1997, they then started the lengthy process of breeding a suitable milking flock. By 2003 they commenced building the factory. At this time, youngest son Tom was leaving school and started to help out, Bruce and Tom built the factory by themselves and it was ready to start cheese making by 2005.With guidance from a Dutch cheesemaker friend (Eddie Bestbier), Jane and Tom developed their own unique style of sheep and later on, cow’s milk cheeses. Originally selling the cheese through local farmers markets and their own farm shop, the business has expanded somewhat since the beginning and now supplies many of WA’s top restaurants and specialty cheese stores. Cambray prides itself on its high quality and traditional methods for a true paddock to plate product.
