Schulz Shorts: Carolyne Rylance

How long have you worked at Schulz and what do you do here? 

I have worked at Schulz for 12 years. I currently cut and pack all our cheeses and have also recently been involved in new product development. My very first job at Schulz was filling the milk bottles by hand – I used to sit on a milk crate on the factory floor to do it!


What are some of the greatest changes you have seen during your time at Schulz?

I started working here with Simon in the original factory where everything was done by hand, including pot setting the yogurt.

Two of the biggest changes I’ve seen are the introduction of automation in the factory and the volume of milk now being processed in various forms.


What is your favourite Schulz product and why?

We used to make an apricot yogurt drink which we sold through the Farmers Markets, it was delicious!


How do you have your coffee?

Half strength latte, with Schulz milk of course!


What’s the best thing about living in Timboon / in the country?

The further away from the city, the better for me! I love farm life and Timboon provides me with the perfect combination of beach and trees. Timboon has given us everything we need to raise a family.


As a Timboon local, what are your top 3 things to do in Timboon?

  1. The Rail Trail

  2. Beach – only 15 minutes down the road

  3. Supporting the local clubs in the area


What would your last meal be?

Roast lamb and roast potatoes.

What’s your go-to knock-off drink?

Coffee!
