Cheese is a major product for the Australian dairy industry, using more than one-third of Australian milk.
Australian cheese is loved both at home and all over the world. By choosing Aussie cheese, you’re not only supporting local farmers but also getting a delicious product packed with nutritional benefits.
When shopping for cheese—whether it’s hard, washed rind, or anything in between—check the labels for the green and gold 'Australian Made/Product of Australia' logo. And if you’re looking for the best of the best, keep an eye out for cheeses that have been recognised at the Australian Grand Dairy Awards.
