Osteria Cheese Bar @Waterkloof Wine Farm

Are you a cheese lover? Then follow your nose and heart to this delightful place where you will find everything you ever wanted as far as cheese is concerned.

Puglia Cheese, the champions of authentic Italian cheese, amazing handmade mozzarellas and burrata in particular, have opened an authentic Italian trattoria-style cheese-lover’s paradise at Osteria Cheese Bar. It adjoins their artisanal cheese factory, which moved to Waterkloof Wine Estate in 2022. A large window allows one to watch the cheesemaking process, especially the cooking and kneading of their creamy fior di latte mozzarella.

Lavish cheese platters come with a plain tomato, puffy-crusted pizza to scoop up fresh bocconcini and aged pecorino alike. Or go for gnocchi made with ricotta served in brown butter, scented with truffles; homemade pappardelle with wild mushrooms, porcini and Puglia Cheese labneh; mozzarella in carrozza (fried mozzarella sandwich); and sourdough Neapolitan-style pizzas where the cheeses are the star of the show.
