Whitestone Cheese

Tucked away in the heart of Otago, nestled amongst rolling green hills and verdant vineyards, lies Whitestone Cheese – a charming artisan cheese manufacturer with deep-rooted connections to our region's rich dairy heritage. Established in 1987, we've spent over three decades honing our craft, transforming humble curds into delectable creations that have captured hearts and taste buds both locally and internationally. Our story begins with a passionate group of cheese enthusiasts who dared to dream of creating something truly extraordinary from the milk of our beloved Otago cows. With a shared vision and a love for all things cheese, they delved into the world of processing, curing, and wrapping – meticulously crafting each wheel with care, patience, and unwavering dedication. Today, Whitestone Cheese stands as a testament to their hard work, passion, and vision.
