Whitestone Cheese Handmade Cheese made in Oamaru The Berry's are a 4th generation Otago farming family.
(386)

Whitestone Cheese was founded in 1987 as a diversification during the 1980's rural downturn and a series of crippling droughts. The original factory was set up in a commercial garage with milk sourced from local farms and one cheese variety Farmhouse was launched. The business slowly grew as an extension of the farming operation until today's purpose built factory was commissioned in 1996. Son Simon joined the business with a new set of skills and the farm was sold to concentrate on the growing the exciting family enterprise.

Happy NZ Cheese Month!

This week's special: our Farmhouse is just $๐Ÿฐ.๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฌ.

Farmhouse is where it all began. It was the first cheese our founders Bob and Sue Berry made in 1987, in a converted garage in Oamaru with milk from local farms. It's still one of a kind, the only pressed cheese with a white bloomy rind. It's mild and semi-soft with a springy texture, a fresh lemongrass aroma and a delicate, savoury finish. Enjoy it on a cheeseboard with a Riesling, Pinot Gris or a crisp Pilsner, or grill, bake or melt it into a sauce.

Buying NZ-made means supporting the farmers, makers and communities behind every wheel. We're grateful for every one of you!

Offer runs 19 to 25 October 2026. Not valid in conjunction with any other offer.

Itโ€™s back! ๐Ÿง€ Our award-winning Monte Cristo has returned.

A sheepโ€™s milk cheddar matured for around fourteen months, Monte Cristo starts subtle and nutty, then grows stronger and more complex with age, with a lovely fruity depth.

Named after the Berry family farm at Maheno, just south of Oamaru, itโ€™s one of our most decorated cheeses: Commercial Champion 2026, and Champion of Champions, Best in Class โ€“ Sheep Milk and Best Original Cheese in 2025.

Serve at room temperature with fresh bread and a fruit chutney, and pour a cab merlot, cab sav or a brown ale alongside.

Order yours before itโ€™s gone!

Happy NZ Cheese Month!

This week's special: our Shenley Station Blue is just $๐Ÿฒ.๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ.

A truly original New Zealand blue, made with a Penicillium roqueforti mould our team found in a farmer's baleage up in Fairlie. Soft white in colour with a light blue vein, it's mild yet full of complex, savoury flavour, totally different to any of our other blues. Serve at room temperature with crusty bread, sweet chutney or honeycomb, and a Central Otago Pinot Noir or a hoppy IPA.

Every NZ-made cheese you buy supports local farmers, makers and communities. Thank you for backing us!
