Lactos: A World of Cheese in Tasmania

Rich in natural splendour, Tasmania, the picturesque state situated south of the mainland of Australia, produces a stream of exciting products and is the home of the world renown specialty Australian cheese thanks to the efforts of one progressive company, LACTOS PTY LTD.

Lactos was founded in 1955 and for the past 13 years has been a member of the International Bongrain Group of France, but like all subsidiaries of the group Lactos has remained autonomous and very much Tasmanian.

Tasmania is noted for its clean, green environment - crystal clear water, stable climate and sound farming techniques, all of which have contributed to Tasmania's abundance of natural bounty, producing the finest quality milk in the world.

Lactos’dairy farmers’ herds produce 65 million litres of creamy rich milk that has a reputation for its pollutionfree purity and quality. This enables the cheesemakers to produce a fine superior range of traditional and uniquely Tasmanian handmade specialty cheese - ranging from HERITAGE and DOMAINE Camembert, Brie, Blue, Continental - Edam, Gouda, Swiss, smear ripened and natural flavoured whipped and traditional cream cheese.

Tasmania is making significant contributions as an exporter of high quality food and wine.
