Western Star is one of Australia's most iconic dairy brands, established in 1926. It originated in the Western District of Victoria, a region renowned for its rich pastures and high-quality dairy production. Over nearly a century, Western Star has built a reputation for its creamy texture and authentic butter flavour, becoming a staple in Australian households.

Today, the brand specifically focuses on a variety of butter products, including its popular spreadable range which blends traditional butter with oils to ensure ease of use straight from the refrigerator. The manufacturing process remains centered in Australia, utilizing locally sourced milk to maintain its domestic heritage.

While originally founded by local cooperatives, the brand is currently owned by Fonterra, a major New Zealand-based dairy cooperative. It operates as part of Fonterra Australia, maintaining its position as a market leader in the Australian butter category through a combination of traditional dairy expertise and modern food processing techniques.
