There are two things most Adelaide girls have in common: we love the Adelaide Hills and we ADORE cheese. Fromage, formaggio, kase, queso — whatever country you’re from, cheese is the language of love.

Kris Lloyd is the cheese-loving genius behind one of our favourites, Woodside Cheese.

Fifteen years ago, she fell into cheese-making by accident. Now, she’s super passionate about producing a tapestry of innovative, unique and delicious tasting cheeses. She dresses her creations up in herbs and flowers, and the final product is more attractive than a Victoria Secret Runway Show.

“I developed this Persian Style feta, which is such a luxurious cheese. The texture is satin like; the flavour, addictive and it is the perfect illustration of the high-quality milk we have access to in South Australia. We are just so lucky!”

Woodside Cheese are award-winning cheese makers and they really do showcase the best of Adelaide to the rest of the cheese-loving world. Kris has created her dream job and is putting a smile on the faces of thousands of South Aussies every day.

So, we’re thrilled to have her as our Inspirational Adelady. These are her fave places in Adelaide:

1. FAVE PLACE TO HAVE A DRINK OR TWO

My favourite three are: East End CellarsMother Vine and 2KW (love the view). And they all serve great little tapas plates.

2. Fave hairdresser

Zink Hair in Unley. Vanessa is adorable and has been doing my hair forever — she knows exactly what I want and does a great job! She also gets that the word TRIM does not mean CUT!

3. Fave place to go out for dinner

Africola and Peel Street. I love the work of Duncan, Jock and Jordan; they all have different styles but get flavour and complexity in simplicity. That is of course, after my place!! I fancy a bit of cooking and it is something I do to unwind. Gathering people to share food is such an important part of my life, especially with the family.

4. Fave place to shop

I love the quirkiness the East End offers. It’s stuff that you don’t see everywhere. To me, that’s important.

5. Fave place for a weekend getaway

Port Elliot with the fam is golden. I just love to glimpse over a bit of water wherever I go away. It is just so relaxing.

6. Fave dessert bar

PASS. Give me cheese ANY day! So, my answer would be any restaurant that serves Australian Cheese!
