Aged up to 18 months. It's one of New Zealand’s favourite award-winning cheeses, a Mainland Tasty Cheese block is never going to last long in your fridge. It tastes so good that everyone in the family wants a piece.

A flaky, crumbly and crunchy aged cheddar with acidic and savoury notes that bite.

Add a chunky slice to a cheese sandwich or carve some off the block and load onto a cracker - sensational. There are so many ways to enjoy our Mainland Tasty.

It has a subtle nutty, mild and creamy savoury taste of a Mainland Vegetarian Edam Cheese block makes this sweet cheese ideal for vegetarians and those who prefer a reduced fat option. *Mainland Edam has 28% less fat than Mainland Tasty cheddar cheese which has 37.4g fat per 100g.

Eat this cheese straight from the fridge, whip up a tasty cheese souffle omelette or you'll find it also works perfectly in zucchini fritters. Store your Edam Cheese block covered in the fridge away from smelly foods where the aroma could accidentally be absorbed.

🧀 Mainland Old School Colby

We fondly remember anything that’s considered old school because it has stood the test of time, and an old school block of Mainland Colby Cheese is no exception.

With its sweet and mild taste, Mainland Colby Cheese is softer and moister in texture compared to your standard cheddar. Easy melting and vegetarian-friendly.

Excellent as a table cheese and for adding to recipes due to its mild nature. It’s perfect as a toastie-filler because of its easy melting consistency. Store Colby Cheese blocks near the back of the fridge or in the cheese drawer - ideally at around 4°C. Then simply serve direct from your fridge and cut into slices. When putting away, make sure to wrap Colby Cheese in its original packaging with a little extra cling wrap over the top allowing it to breathe.

🧀 Mainland Gouda Cheese

Using inspiration from the Netherlands, our Mainland Gouda Cheese is a versatile pale coloured cheese possessing a smooth texture to the bite and is ideal for adding to a multitude of recipes.

Mild to medium strength cheese with varying caramelised fruit flavours that improve with age. Aged three months.

It has a good melt flow that retains its consistency, making it great for fondue. Why not try these crunchy easy-to-prepare Cheesy potato & smoked fish croquettes for a family dinner or if you’re entertaining, whip up a quick bowl of warm jalapeno & gouda cheese dip. Delicious and delightful.
