A Victorian organic dairy farmer is hopeful that he will soon be able to sell raw milk cheeses on the market.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand is calling for a second round of submissions on a proposal to allow a wider range of raw milk products to be sold in Australia.

The Food Standards Code currently permits the production and sale of a limited range, however it's being revised due to demand from customers.

Owner and manager of Schulz Organic Farms at Timboon, Simon Schulz, says the change in restrictions would create more business opportunities.

"We would be able to experiment with things that we haven't done before.

"More importantly it gives the consumer greater choice. It puts us on an even level with the Europeans," he said.

"We currently can't produce the equivalent in flavour to a lot of raw milk French cheeses, using pasteurised milk.

"There are cheeses like Roquefort that are imported into Australia that are made from raw milk cheese.

"It makes me feel as if we're being pushed down and that some believe that we can't produce something that's as safe as some of the imported cheeses.

"Whether it's the health authorities who don't think we can do it as safely, I'm not sure."

"I think any product can be safe under the right kind of regulations."

The closing date for the second round of submissions is 21 August 2014.
