At Mainland, we believe there is an art to making the finest quality product.

The Mainland Story

How to enjoy
our cheese

Our videos

Craftsmanship at its finest

Vintage Cheddar

It's a well aged cheddar

Soft Cheeses

Crafted by Hand

Our soft, special reserve cheeses, like Brie and Camembert, have extra cream added to the vat while crafting.

Epicure

Good Cheese takes time

You may not see it, but there’s a crucial process taking place inside a batch of aging Epicure. This cheese is taking its time; 3 years, to be exact.

Mozzarella

The Art of Crafting

To create its beautifully mild, creamy taste and trademark pull, our craftsmen heat the mixture to 70 degrees and stretch our Mozzarella before it’s formed into blocks, matured and grated up for your convenience. All that, and it’s vegetarian-friendly too.

Tasty Light

Full flavour cheddar. 30% less fat.

Buttersoft

Triple Churned & Chilled

Refrigerated, spreadable butter. Sounds unlikely, but our innovative craftsmen made it happen. By triple churning the mix, we’ve made this range of butter good to go straight from the fridge.

Organic

Thank the cows

At Mainland our organic range of products are derived naturally without the need for artificial ‘nasties’. Because at the end of the day we believe Mother Nature is beautiful just as she is and you can taste the difference.
