Mainland Cheddar Cheese is a product of its environment and Mainland has a natural advantage. New Zealand has rich fertile valleys, watered by pure mountain streams and soft gentle rain creating endless grazing pastures of lush sweet green grass year round. This, plus a cool temperate climate ideal for the slow natural aging of the finest cheddar cheese, gives Mainland its unique and distinctive flavor.
New Zealand is known for its long-established dairy heritage and producing fine quality dairy products. These include the extraordinary rich and sharp Mainland family of naturally aged cheddar, from the heartland of New Zealand.
At Mainland, cheddar cheese is our passion, the cheese making tradition is savored, and the process is never rushed. Mainland cheddar cheese symbolizes Fonterra craftsmanship and quality.
