Established in 1902, the King Island Dairy is internationally recognised for its award-winning premium cheese.  One of Australia’s premium dairies producing hand crafted specialty cheeses, King Island is the most geographically isolated island in Bass Strait.  King Island provides ideal grazing conditions for its resident dairy cows for which it is justifiably famous.  Produced exclusively on Bass Strait's most remote island, King Island’s indulgent dairy products are made with pure and sweet King Island milk, produced from the herds which graze on some of the most lush and cleanest pastures in the world.

Tasmanian Heritage cheeses are made from the freshest Tasmanian ingredients and derived from European cheese making technologies. Tasmania’s unpolluted environment and stable, temperate climate lend themselves to the production of the finest quality dairy products.  Tasmanian Heritage unique flavours and consistent textures from our Brie, Camembert and Blue cheeses will be enjoyed and savoured by all.
