Out there in the universe, stars are born every day. But, closer to home in Cobden, Western Victoria, a star is born every second – Australia’s favourite butter, Western Star™. 

The verdict is in – Australia’s favourite grated cheese is Fonterra’s Perfect Italiano™ cheese range, awarded this year’s ‘Most Satisfied Customers’ Award by brand comparison site Canstar Blue.

As Australia’s number one foodservice dairy provider, Fonterra prides itself on the quality of its extensive range of dairy foods, and is pleased to be bringing its cheese back to Australian production.

Fonterra’s Western Star has scooped its third major industry award for the year, picking up a Gold and Silver medal at the 2016 Dairy Industry Association of Australia (DIAA) Queensland Dairy Product Competition.

For the second consecutive year, Australia’s favourite butter, Western Star Original Salted Butter, has taken home the award of Champion Butter at the 2017 Australian Grand Dairy Awards.

Success continues to spread for one of Fonterra’s leading brands.

The new facility will replace the hard cheese plant, which was destroyed by fire in December 2014, with a larger, modern facility that will produce cheeses for Australian consumer, foodservice and export markets.
