King Island Dairy Roaring Forties Blue Cheese

King Island Dairy Roaring Forties Blue is a premium artisanal cheese produced on King Island, located in the Bass Strait between mainland Australia and Tasmania. The brand is renowned for utilizing the high-quality milk produced by cows grazing on the island's lush, salt-mist pastures, which contributes to its distinctively rich and creamy flavor profile.

The dairy has a long history dating back to the early 20th century, becoming a staple of Australian specialty cheese. Over the decades, it has transitioned from a local cooperative to international corporate ownership. As of recent years, the brand belongs to Saputo Inc., a Canadian dairy giant that has expanded its footprint significantly across the Australian dairy market. Despite various corporate integrations, the manufacturing remains tied to the geographic heart of the brand on King Island to maintain its heritage status.
