Ripe

Ripe is the only all Australian artisanal cheese shop in the world. It boasts more than 50 varieties of award-winning cheese, sourcing from some of Australia’s most established cheese-makers including Berry’s Creek, Holy Goat, L’Artisan Organic, and small cheesemakers like PowerHouse Cheese and Stone & Crow.

Ripe has also perfected the ‘triple-cheese toastie’ for those who are after a bite to eat. Filled with gooey mozzarella, tasty vintage cheddar, a smear of blue and caramelised champagne leeks on sourdough bread, this toastie makes for the perfect snack or meal! Every month, Ripe creates a new limited edition toastie that reflects the seasonality of Australian produce and culture.

Make sure to pop over to their brand new store in the Dairy Produce Hall where you can explore an extended product range of smallgoods and deli sandwiches!

Ripe are also the deserving recipients of four Awards – Australian Small Business Champion Award 2024 in Fresh Food Category, City of Melbourne Small Business of the Year 2023, Australian Good Food Guide Readers’ Choice 2023 (2nd year running) and Best Online Cheesemonger 2023.
