Mainland is a prominent dairy brand that has become a staple in Oceania, renowned for its commitment to traditional cheese-making processes under the slogan "Good things take time." The brand originated in New Zealand, drawing its name and identity from the South Island's mountainous landscapes. It reflects a heritage of slow-maturation for its various cheese products, including cheddar and specialty types like haloumi.

Today, Mainland is a key brand under the umbrella of Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited. Fonterra is a global dairy giant and a co-operative owned by thousands of New Zealand farming families. While Mainland products are primarily manufactured and processed within New Zealand to leverage the country's high-quality pasture-fed milk, they are exported extensively to international markets including Australia and Fiji. The haloumi product shown is specifically labeled as a product of New Zealand, ensuring the authenticity and quality associated with the brand's origins.
