Anthony Silvio began his journey in hospitality as a trainer at a local sourdough bakery, teaching classes to avid bakers and school children who were keen to learn about the origins of their food and how their daily bread was made.
Fast track to now, Anthony is the Creative Director at Vannella Cheese where he develops the recipes and online content that you see coming from the brand. What's not to love about working with cheese every day!
Anthony now runs cheese tastings and tours of the factory, explaining the complex process of cheese making to astonished eyes, whether that be cheese eaters or chefs alike who want to know more about the cheese they put on their menus.

About Vannella Cheese
At the age of 16, Vito Minoia began his journey as an apprentice cheese maker in the southern Italian region he called home, Puglia. This is where he first learned the craft of making mozzarella, before honing this skill working in some of the best "caseifici" (cheese factories) across Italy.
After a trip to Australia in 1999, Vito decided to make a bold move and relocate to our north eastern city of Cairns along with his family, bringing the love of cheesemaking from Puglia with them. Cairns was naturally the perfect move, as it meant he could finally open his own cheese factory "Caseificio Vannella" in 2004 close to the herds where the milk was sourced from.
Fast forward to now almost 50 years on, Vannella are operating out of their state-of-the-art factory in Sydney sourcing the highest quality local single origin milk and cream. And although time has passed, Vito continues to use the methods he perfected as a teenager to produce an outstanding array of products, yet most renowned are his Burrata and fresh Buffalo Mozzarella.

Thank you for a wonderful experience and for helping us create a great shared memory for our Christmas Party. We had fun, learned some great cooking tips and shared a wonderful meal. Jodie and Serta were very engaging, professional, helpful and fun.
We would recommend this event to anyone looking for something a little different and with an interest in food and cooking.

We did a Mexican cooking class as part of a team building event a few days ago and it was great. We learnt how to make ceviche, pulled pork tacos and the best guacamole I've ever tasted. We all had a fun time and and are keen to try the recipes at home. Huge thanks to Mikiko and Jean-Luc.

Took my team here for a work bonding event and we had the best time. The setup is amazing and perfect that we all surround each other as we’re cooking. The teacher was knowledgeable and organisation was like clockwork. One of the best bowls of Ramen I have ever had too!

My experience attending the Molecular cuisine class with Jodie & Michelin was nothing short of brilliant. The class was well-organized, informative, and fun. We learned about the science behind molecular gastronomy and got to experiment with new techniques and ingredients. Jodie and Michelin were excellent instructors, answering all our questions and providing helpful tips along the way. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in exploring the fascinating world of molecular cuisine.
