RIPE is the first and only all-Australian cheese shop in the world. Co-owned and helmed by Singapore-born cheesemonger Hakim, who has called Australia home since 2011.

Hakim started his career as a Cheesemonger in 2017 at a deli at the iconic Queen Vic Market. In 2023, Ripe moved to a bigger location within the Market (Shop 61-65 Dairy Hall) and expanded into delicious deli sandwiches and all-Australian free-range meats and charcuterie under the banner &Cured.

Hakim Halim

Co-owner - hello@ripecheese.com.au

Hakim started his career as a Cheesemonger in 2017 at a deli at the iconic Queen Vic Market. He soon realised no-one at the Market was showcasing Australian cheese so he bought his own shop and created Ripe Cheese in 2019.
