The King Island Dairy gets its name from the island of the same name. King Island is situated south of Melbourne at the Western end of Bass Strait. This tiny speck in the Great Southern Ocean is among the few remains of the land bridge that once linked Tasmania to the Australian mainland and is also the home to one of the best cheese producing companies in the world. One of their cheeses is Stokes Point Smoked Cheddar. This cheddar is made in the traditional way, matured for nine months and then smoked with Tasmanian hardwood. Its beautiful, edible golden rind, created during smoking, has a rich, smoky flavor and also acts as a natural preservative.
