For The Love of Cheese!!
Vannella x Franco lunch session with a live cheesemaking station
We’ve now had two incredible Supplier Series lunches, and we’re excited to announce our next collaboration with Vannella Cheese on Sunday 14th September.
Based in Marrickville, Vannella has been crafting artisan Italian cheeses since 1983. Family-owned and operated, their exceptional cheeses are enjoyed across Australia — and we’re proud to serve them here at Franco. This event will showcase some of their very best products.
To make the day even more special, Vannella’s talented cheesemakers will be joining us for a live cheese demonstration before your meal. Watch as they handcraft nodini and burrata right before your eyes — and yes, you’ll get to taste the cheese fresh from the hands that made it. A true one-off experience.
Our chef has created a special six-dish set menu ($109pp) featuring Vannella’s cheeses at the heart of each dish, with a vegetarian option also available.
