Welcome to our new member: Whitestone Cheese Co.

Whitestone Cheese Co.

Whitestone Cheese was founded in 1987 as a diversification to the family farm during the 1980’s rural downturn. The original factory was set up in Oamaru in a converted garage with milk sourced from local farms and one variety, Whitestone Farmhouse was launched.

The business slowly grew as an extension of the farming operation until today’s purpose-built factory was commissioned in 1998. Son Simon joined the business bringing a new set of skills and the farm was sold to concentrate on growing the exciting family enterprise.

From small beginnings, Whitestone Cheese has grown to become a globally recognised artisan cheese brand with over 25 different cheeses. The factory now employs over 75 staff and includes a cheese deli / store and offers guided factory tours. Whitestone Cheese has also launched a Cheese Bar in the heart of Auckland CBD. Simon Berry oversees the business management, cheese making team and production.
