La Boîte à Fromages – Cheese on Wheels was established in Sydney in 2012 by cheesemongers Aurore Ghigo and Tom Ippolito. With a combined experience of nearly two decades, we aim to offer the best in artisanal, farmhouse cheeses and accompaniments from Australia and abroad.

Our philosophy is simple: to provide education and enjoyment to our customers through our passionate service. We have an intimate and hands-on knowledge of local producers, as well as a deep understanding of traditional cheese from Europe. From raw, rare, and organic cheeses to ancient, new, and quirky creations, we have a cheese for every taste and budget.

Cheese is a sensory experience. As cheesemongers, we encourage our customers to taste, smell, and feel before they buy, as finding the right cheese is a personal journey.

From our first market stall at Frenchs Forest Organic Market in early 2012, we’ve grown to six weekly market stalls. In our pursuit of cheese education, we’ve worked at Marrook Farm in NSW, Australia’s leading biodynamic dairy, and spent time in Melbourne at Australia’s oldest cheese room.

Many may remember us from our retail store in Brunswick, Melbourne, under the Caseus name. After the birth of our second child, we returned to Sydney, continuing to share our passion for cheese with the community.

Most recently, Aurore Ghigo competed in the International Best Cheesemonger Competition in June 2019, held in France. Representing Australia, she ranked among the top 10 best cheesemongers in the world – a testament to our passion and dedication to the craft.
