King Island Dairy, King Island

Took the goonie bird plane over from Essendon Airport… this was part of the package we got which included a tasting! I mean King Island dairy is famous in Melbourne so I was stoked to go! A great selection and I got a king island dairy cooler bag! The tasting was really good too. And the place itself looks awesome as you drive in with the seriously massive metal dairy tanks!

Well worth a visit! Generous tasting plate, hot and cold drinks available, and other merchandise on offer. Cheese for purchase was incredibly cheap - could’ve bought my weight in cheese if I had enough room!

i bought a cape Wickham double brie on January 10 2023. the best before date was January 29. The cheese was rubbery and tasted of nothing much, with an acid after taste. it did not improved when left at room temperature for a few hours. To deserve the name Brie it should have been soft, with a white centre if slightly under ripe, slightly oozing if fully ripe, with a rich distinctive taste typical of Brie, very different from for instance a camembert. This cheese does not in the least resemble a Brie, and therefore should be called... whatever. So very disappointing and over priced for a poor quality soft cheese.

A delightful.selection cheeses, we were particularly taken with the smoked Camembert and Smoked Cheddar. The owner was very knowledgeable about explaining the cheese making process to us

Very nice. Great place for a visit. Great taste testing of the cheeses.
