Whitestone Cheese

As part of our commitment to purchase goods and services locally to help the economy, while also serving New Zealand's favourite cheese.

Here are some of the reasons we choose to work with Whitestone Cheese

Whey is collected and returned as stock feed to local farmers.
Whitestone's milk is sourced from the healthy grass-fed cows of local North Otago farms. They source local/NZ ingredients wherever possible.
The factory's heat treatment and hot water is all heated with liquid purified gas, emitting clean atmospheric water vapour.
Electricity is sourced from the local hydroelectric power plants, a 100% renewable energy source.
