That's Amore Cheese

It’s time to wear those stretchy pants and bring your appetite to Thomastown on Sunday, March 29, for the sixth annual Ricotta Festival held by award-winning cheesemakers That’s Amore. They're inviting you to the only festival in Australia devoted entirely to ricotta at their HQ for one glorious day of cheesy celebrations. At the heart of it all? Ricotta Calda. Think hot, creamy, freshly made ricotta served on arrival, just like in Sicily. The LaManna Cooking Demo Stage will host a stellar line-up of Melbourne culinary talent, including Ferdinando Napoli (Trattoria Emilia), Melanie Lionello (@frommylittlekitchen), Pia Gava (ex-MasterChef Australia contestant) and Jason Shiong from LaManna. Expect insider tips, generous tastings and plenty of cheese. Entertainment will keep the festa vibes high all day long. Live sets from Siesta Cartel and Solo Antico will soundtrack the celebrations, while the Melbourne School of Tarantella brings traditional dance to the floor. That’s Amore Cheese will be dishing up hot ricotta, spaghetti cacio e pepe tossed in a Grana cheese wheel. You’ll also find Abruzzese arrosticini from Abruzzo Lab, pizza and calamari from Saluti Pizzeria, melted caciocavallo over charcoal from Pacelli Deli, seafood panini from Pescato Ocean Eats and arancini and lasagne bites from The Arancini Mann. As for dessert, try freshly filled cannoli from Cannoleria, scoops from Boca Gelato, Sicilian-style sfinci, yummy tiramisu from The Travelling Tiramisu and desserts...
