This month we had a visit by one of Sydney’s premier cheese makers, La Stella, for a fascinating insight into how mozzarella is made. Approximately 20 residents gathered in the lounge to witness Adriano Bamonte, the cheesemaker (and Flora's husband), demonstrate the intricate process of crafting mozzarella. Following the demonstration, everyone had the opportunity to savor the freshly prepared cheese and even take some home! Adriano also shared samples of their other cheeses, including a delectable white scamorza and a creamy stracciatella, which quickly became a crowd favourite. The cheeses were complemented with red, white, and sparkling wines, and we spent the afternoon enjoying cheese, wine, and great company. The event was a huge success, with some residents dubbing it their favourite Astra event! A heartfelt thank you to La Stella and Adriano for an unforgettable afternoon filled with delicious cheese and wonderful memories.
