Kenilworth Dairies

Kenilworth Dairies has a rich history in the dairy industry. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mary Valley and Sunshine Coast hinterland it is no wonder their products are fresh and full of passion.

Visit their factory and you will notice testament to their historic master cheesemakers all over the factory. Despite almost 65+ years of cheese making, Kenilworth's passion remains the same; quality local products that support the dairy farming families of the region. The Kenilworth cheese factory is truly a piece of Queensland dairy history.

Kenilworth Dairies

Kenilworth Dairies is a magnificent destination with a rich history and delicious food.

Though their primary business is to produce dairy products, they are open to the public and well worth visiting for anyone who wants to learn about dairy production.

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. They use traditional recipes to create matured, handcrafted, and wax-coated cheese, including cheddar and flavoured cheese. Aside from that, they are also known for making world-class mousse, yogurt, and ice cream.

When it comes to cheese, they specialise in soft and blue cheese and foundation cheese recipes. Their gourmet flavoured cheese covers a wide range, including chilli, lemon myrtle, and many more. You’re sure to find a cheese that’s to your liking.

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.

Kenilworth Dairies (Cheese Factory) Charles Street, opposite the Town Park

See our website Established in 1950 as one of the many rural cheese factories owned by the Kraft Corporation. Following a move to centralization in the late 1980’s Kraft decided to close the Kenilworth factory. Two employees and a local businessman came up with the idea that perhaps some of the workers could buy the factory. The rest is history, the Kraft Kenilworth cheese factory became Kenilworth Country Foods Pty Ltd (now Kenilworth Dairies) and reopened for business on the 7th September 1990.
