Thirteen years of dedication, sacrifice, and endless early-morning farm runs later, that dream has blossomed into a labor of love encompassing 27 distinct, handcrafted varieties of cheese.
Each wheel tells a story of patience and precision—from the velvety layers of fresh Burrata de Clere-Lapree and fragrant basil pasta filata, to the richly seasoned Mr. P cream cheese steeped in peppercorns and olive oil, to the decadent Kalahari truffle notes of Naba Gold.
Along this 13-year path, the journey has been crowned with extraordinary milestones, including eight prestigious South African Champion Cheese awards.
Creations like the deeply aged Padrinho parmesan style, the robust Shepherd Rock mature cheddar, and the rich Boerenkaas stand as proud monuments to what relentless heart and authentic craft can achieve.❤️
Yet, the true crown of Clere-Lapree handcrafted cheese isn't found in awards —it lives in the incredible community that lifted this dream from the ground up.🥹
It is in the warmth of customers like Bernardete Coelho Neves , who hand-knitted hoodie scarves to keep the chill away during ice-cold morning milk runs. It is in crafters like Nicky Gibbs ♥️, whose gifted "Noordhoek spice" inspired whole new culinary creations.
It is in every smile, every market chat at Timour Hall,SunValley Mall, LongBeach mall, and every family table where a piece of is shared.
Thank you for believing in this journey, for honoring the craft, and for turning a dream born from a young girl growing up in Ocean View into a legacy built on love.
