Cheese has been made in Kenilworth for more than 60 years. The Cochrane family, dairy farmers in the region for six generations, became the new owners of the Kenilworth cheese factory in June 2017.
Now known as Kenilworth Dairies, they provide the freshest, highest quality milk from their dairy farms in the nearby Mary Valley. And so a tradition of ‘udderly’ delicious and ‘udderly’ nutritious cheese, yoghurt and other fine dairy foods will continue for many years to come.

OUR FARMS

CHEESEMAKING
Established in 1950 by the Kraft Corporation, the Kenilworth cheese factory was closed in the 1980’s.
The factory re-opened as Kenilworth Country Foods and operated for many years producing handmade cheese until it’s recent transformation into Kenilworth Dairies.
