Our Produce

Proudly Made in Main Ridge

There is cheese and then there is handcrafted Main Ridge Dairy Cheese. All our cheeses are created using traditional methods in a sustainable manner, resulting in the highest quality cheeses. After milking, our fresh milk is turned into a range of handcrafted cheeses, all produced here on the property.

Great food experiences start with the best produce. The Mornington Peninsula is home to some of the finest in Australia.

Since 2001, Victorians have enjoyed the cheeses and dairy products produced here at Main Ridge Dairy. We only use non-animal rennet, so all our cheeses are suitable for vegetarians. We don’t use artificial preservatives, standardisers, or G.M. ingredients. We batch thermalise our milk at the lowest legal temperature to make the milk safe, which takes time, but it is the gentlest method of processing. We don’t separate or standardise the milk to retain its goodness and instead embrace its seasonal fluctuations.

We pride ourselves on producing the best quality goats milk daily, then crafting it by hand into delicious, award-winning cheeses right here on the farm at Main Ridge Dairy.

Our talented and passionate cheesemakers are always creating and trialling new cheeses to add to the Main Ridge Dairy selection. Make sure you follow our socials and are on our mailing list for updates as they happen.
