Hellenic Cheese Competitors

Ashgrove Cheese is a Tasmanian dairy manufacturer producing fresh milk, specialty cheeses, cream, butter, and cheese snacks. With a reputation for quality and award-winning products, Ashgrove serves customers across Australia.

Founded by Nick Haddow in 2003, Bruny Island Cheese Co. was started after Nick spent 10 years working with specialist cheese makers in many different countries around the world.

As one of Australia’s oldest dairy producers, we take pride in small-batch, handmade cheeses made using traditional techniques, honed over time and passed down with care. Our cheeses draw on the island’s unique climate, rich soil and salty pastures — the result, some say, of shipwrecked straw mattresses that scattered foreign grass seeds along the coastline, now flourishing in King Island’s pristine, mineral-rich environment and unspoiled pure air. King Island is a place like no other – located in the Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia — it is remote, windswept by the Roaring Forties, and utterly unique. Its rich soils, abundant rainfall, salty pastures, and mild temperatures year-round, create ideal conditions for dairy farming. This rare combination of elements gives our milk — and our cheese — an unmistakable character you won’t find anywhere else. Essential to producing the highest quality cheeses is the provenance of ingredients – our milk is pure, rich and 100% local. In fact, 95% of our milk comes from our own farms, just minutes down the road from our factory on the island. Our cows graze freely on lush, salt-kissed pastures year-round, producing grass-fed milk that’s collected fresh every single day.
