By Kim Berry | 9 February 2022

A cheesy love

Giorgio Linguanti started That’s Amore Cheese with one cheese and a fierce determination to educate Australians about the beauty of Italian soft cheeses. He shares his experiences to what is now an award-winning business producing more than 60 different cheeses. On page 28.

Resetting the sails

It takes courage to take the helm of a 30+ year old company and steer it into new territory while respecting its heritage and existing consumer base. Ivan Markovic did that just, working with the creative agency The Offices to complete a total brand refresh for his company Viking Imports. Read about it on page 14.
