Kenilworth Dairies, Cheese, Milk, Desserts, Cafe & Opening Hours, QLD

Kenilworth Dairies is now under its third management after being purchased by a reputable dairy family. Thanks to their efforts, it’s now become a popular tourist attraction in Kenilworth .

There are many highlights here, including being able to witness how cheese is made while, of course, being able to try a wide variety of cheese too.

Additionally, their mild and mature cheddar is famous among kids and families who enjoy the simple taste of cheese. They also make terrific fetta and halloumi.

The on-site Poppa’s Café can accommodate up to 20 people. They are open seven days a week from 9am to 3pm; they are open from 9am to 4pm on public holidays and school holidays.

Following a move to centralization in the late 1980’s Kraft decided to close the Kenilworth factory.
