THE Margaret River Dairy Company now holds the new Guinness World Records title for the largest cheese tasting event at a single location.
The dairy was overwhelmed with the response it had to a call-out for cheese lovers to join its attempt at the rural dairy in Metricup, in Western Australia's South West.
Head cheesemaker and production manager Thiago Bacellar said it was a huge buzz for him and his team to see so many people tasting three of their most popular cheeses in unison.
"The population of Metricup is around 200 - made up mainly of dairy farms and wineries - so to have 560 people join us was quite an achievement!" he said.
"It shows you how many people truly love cheese!"
