First Prize at the 2010 South African National Dairy Championships.
Our flagship cheese, Roydon Camembert is crafted using a secret, traditional recipe and is named in honour of one of Fairview’s earlier cheesemakers.

Greetings, I live in Meyerton, Gauteng and was in Western Cape over the week of the 5th to 9th December 2010. During this period I visited your place. As a cheese lover, I naturally opted for the cheese tasting. I noticed that when I got to Roydon’s – something regarding a first prize was mentioned. That was the first time I had ever tasted Roydon Camembert. I totally disagree that Roydon could’ve won the first prize – this cheese is really in a class of it’s own – when it comes to Roydon – there IS no competition!!!!!!!! Roydon is the Rolls Royce of cheeses. Unfortunately, I am unable to get it in my area – have to look fwd to my next visit to Fairview. Thanks for a great experience

Hi Narisha,
Thanks for you comment. If you can’t get Roydon at your local Pick n Pay, our Gauteng cheese man tells us that there’s an Italian Cheese shop in Mulbarton and they keep the 125g Roydon. You can call them on 011 4323072 and ask for Linda.
Cheers.
