J. K.

Having tried their cheese at the Hamilton Farmer's Market and being impressed by the quality and service of the lady attending the stand, we ventured our and visited the Factory and Deli one weekend. They were under level 2 lockdown restrictions so not all the offerings were available which is understandable, but don't let that stop you. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience from the friendly and helpful staff, the range of condiments and other non cheese products were quite extensive, but the cheese room.My goodness, the cheese room. Even without the tasting offer, you can't pick a bad cheese here. Can't wait to go back for more, and one of the highlights of my time in NZ. Thanks, Over The Moon!

They make really interesting products like the goat camembert, the buffalo and cow Blue. Those are very flavorful. Sadly lot of products are insanly pricy, among the pricest ones I came across In New Zealand. When you buy pre-packed cheese, several of them go over the 100$/kg mark, which I can't wrap my mind around. It feels like your buying luxury items more than food. It doesn't seem theirs customer are very concern about the pricing so this luxury strategy seems effective. There are also affordable cheesemakers in New Zealand, that make great cheeses and I prefer to buy theirs products to encourage them to keep decent prices that makes cheese accessible to a broader audience.

If you love cheese then this place is a must visit. A cold room with samples to try and enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff to help you choose. The classic Brie is amazing and we have enjoyed the more exotic Southern Cross hard cheese, Moon Crater and the best of the best Truffle Brie. They also run cheesemaking classes which we are keen to try sometime soon!

B. C.

Craig Curd was so helpful. He provided professional assistance and was very knowlegable about the cheeses on offer. Would give 6 stars if I could

B. B.

Called in to check out local cheeses , I brought a few yummy

R. J.

We stopped in for a visit and cheese snack while driving around the countryside and were absolutely stunned by how delicious and unique the cheese is! And the staff was quite friendly and happy to educate about their process, milk sources, and cheeses. Recommended stop!

K. S.

Definitely a must stop if you’re a fan of great cheese. Wonderful people and wonderful service.

We stumbled upon this amazing cheese shop on our way to waitamo caves. Oh my goodness the cheese was amazing. The staff were super helpful. Thank you.

s. c.

Super helpful and very sweet staff. We also got to taste test some cheese before buying what we wanted and learned more about it. 10/10 recommended, we are definitely going back again!

J. C.

Great cheese and friendly staff. Was able to try a variety of cheese before making my purchases.the black truffle Brie and havarti sheep milk are simply amazing.

A. L.

Fantastic cheese, staff was so friendly and helpful.

J. L.

This is my favorite cheese shop. The choices range from the popular staples to a variety of intriguing cheeses, all made with local milk. The two for me are the camembert and truffle brie. They also run cheese making courses which I'd love to do one day.

B. C.

Ordered a gift box for a family member which arrived ahead of schedule even in these topsy turvy times.Even had couple wee extras put in.Thank you so much for wonderful service.Will definitely order again.

S. W.

Beautiful NZ cheeses! Wish I could buy them more often but budget doesn't allow it

J. C.

Delicious cheeses. Quite pricey. Friendly staff. Nice store.

G. S.

Lovely lady going thru all the different cheeses thank you

L. W.

Was so excited to try time a visit on the way through because I love the brand. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We were taken in to the cheese fridge for a tasting which was great. We will definitely pop in again and will reccomend other visit as well! Thanks team!

K. S.

Debbie and the team at over the moon were amazing to deal with! We created a beautiful cheese tower for our wedding cake which went down a treat on the day! The cheeses were so yum and so reasonably priced!

I use to purchase a lot of cheese from here as I live in Auckland so I’d stock up and bring it all back for friends and family. One day I walked in, I was being friendly and made conversation with the lady whom I think may have been one of the owners. There was another customer there in the refrigerated room trying cheeses. I heard they had recently opened up elsewhere and I was excited for them so I expressed this to the owner. I realized I was in the wrong place when the owner started taking to me as though I didn’t belong. None the less, I carried on being my happy self. The other customer went to the counter and the owner followed. She didn’t realize I was right behind them and the owner glanced at the other customer and murmured “wow that was intense” with this really mean look in her eyes. I was so embarrassed and hurt that I have not returned nor purchased their cheese again. Having grown up in the Waikato I can’t believe such snobbery exists in NZ let alone in a small quiet farming town. Everyone should be treated equally no matter how they look or dress. I may not like to dress fancy but I work hard for my money and always support local as I understand the hardship that comes with being an entrepreneur in NZ. When you get to the top don’t forget your roots.

M. S.

A must stop for all cheesy goodness lovers. One of the best blues cheeses I have tasted in a good wee while and a French Brie which has creamy smooth but subtle flavours that scream have second thirds and fourths.

P. V. R.

Had the washed rind cheese and it was just delightful. Cleared the room a bit for the unaware but the taste was devine. The black truffle brie was also very, very good.

K. L.

This little boutique cheese shop is well worth the visit. They import cheeses and also make their own. They are open seven days. They offer cheese sampling. We bought some Goat Blue that has the most delicious 'tang' to it. Stop in for a visit and have one of their coffees while you shop. They have lots of other goodies to accompany your cheese purchases too.

R. C.

We stopped by during our road trip. This place had a friendly and knowledgeable staff membed and great prices for incredibly delicious cheese!

M. C.

Stunning service - with personality and a warm welcome as I entered the shop. The lady led the way to where their cheeses are stored in a temperature & humidity controlled room and asked me what I was looking for. She told me the difference between cheese textures and taste - making a decision was really hard but in the end I went with two cheeses, a beautiful creamy blue and a triple cream brie. Price was irrelevant as they were for a very special occasion. The eating was perfect proof of quality and hand craftsmanship

A. A.

Friendly staff, great cheese collection. Thank you.

A. G.

Stopped here to get some coffee - we were greeted by a very friendly staff member who gave us free cheese tasting. Cheeses are outstanding and coffee was good as well. Big variaty of various cheeses, jams and other food produce

M. T.

A quality cheese store, their cheeses are world class very tasty. Are able to taste selective cheeses, problem is deciding which one to buy. I bought 4 pieces and could happily have bought all of them. Delicious.

L.

The cheese here is incredible. My fiance and I are fans of soft cheese primarily and we found the brie was to die for! We bought three of the one we most enjoyed. The staff were quite friendly and professional, we walked in abs were greeted and given a free tasting on the spot. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely be dropping in!

m.

Very nice little special cheese shop. good kinds of cheese tasting room and knowledgeable kind staff. Very tasty fresh cheese what you can not find at ordinary shop in town. We bought three cheese costing nearly $40 very special!! very good!!

S. B.

Stopped to get a coffee for the road and was tempted into the cheese tasting room by the appreciative noises coming from a group of ladies partaking in there. Tried the DELICIOUS cheeses on offer and abandoned our plans for lunch and instead bought a selection of their tasty cheeses to have instead. Very reasonable prices, extremely tasty cheese and nice, friendly staff.

V. T.

This place has the most amazing range of cheeses, made on site. I recommend the Moon Crater. Good coffee as well.

W.

Discovered this cheese shop on the our way, at first we thought it was a bakery. But after seeing the big collections of cheese I quickly fell in love as I’m a big fan! Love the cheese tasting part, found some of them has super rich and interesting flavour. They also have an online shop so I’m surely will order some more!

R. C.

Really excellent cheeses, from blue to goat to French soft cheeses. We stopped in and had a great variety of tastes. Hard to choose just two! This is also a cheese-making school with one-day sessions if you have the time.

C. G.

If you want to try new an different cheeses this is the place. Amazing store with very helpful people. You can see some of the process for making cheese, and tasting. Find a new delightful taste to tempt your tastebuds. Yum

C.

Allways real frendly, great selection of cheese, often have specials and tastings. We stop in every time passing threw town.

R. L.

Absolutely fantastic customer service and beautiful products. I purchased one of their delicious hampers and Lee-Ann was so lovely to deal with. I can't recommend Over The Moon highly enough.

L. B.

Over The Moon make some of the best cheeses in the southern hemisphere. I've been tasting and buying their award winning treats ever since they opened. I grew up in Putaruru so know the place well. This is one of the most innovative businesses in the history of the town. I know the truth of this comment!!

l. y.

Small cheese shop with a very friendly old lady who was as excited as we were about the cheeses. There's a wide selection to choose from. We wished we could buy them all!

J. C.

Great set up, very obliging staff, they are obviously passionate about their work and the cheese is yummy, recommended for those who are inquisitive about different cheeses and those wanting to re-stock their pantry 👍

A. R.

Usually stop by when passing through. Always a great experience with enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff who are generous with their samples. They have the right to be; the cheese is great.

D. C.

Very good coffee, carefully made. Nice cheese. Not much else though. Not sure why they bill it as a deli. A few jars of interesting sauces and such for sale.

G. B.

A nice little place to get different kinds of cheese. There are also some that you can taste before buying. The lady is really nice and helpful.

S. A. J.

Brilliant place to visit if you love cheese. Lovely customer service, they were happy to open their doors 10 minutes early 😊

Delectable Regional cheeses. You must try the Buffalo Blue Cheese. Great coffee here too & see if you can find the missing "dog"

C. F.

You can taste before you buy, some of the beat cheese in NZ. Right next to the New Zealand Cheesemaking School and you can see the staff making cheese during the week. Always need to stop when passing through

A good selection of cheeses. Might pay to call ahead if you are looking for something specific as not all stock is carried in store (or at least in limited volume).
