Their history goes back to 1950 when it was established by Kraft Corporation to produce cheese in bulk. It was shut down in the 1980s when Kraft decided to centralise their business, leaving many without a job. However, local businessmen decided to purchase the factory and they ended up reopening by September 1990. They were known as Kenilworth Country Foods.

Kenilworth Dairies is now under its third management after being purchased by a reputable dairy family. Thanks to their efforts, it’s now become a popular tourist attraction in Kenilworth.

There are many highlights here, including being able to witness how cheese is made while of course being able to try a wide variety of cheese too. They use traditional recipes to create matured, handcrafted, and wax-coated cheese including cheddar and flavoured cheese. Aside from that, they are also known for making world-class mousse, yogurt, and ice cream.

When it comes to cheese, they specialise in soft and blue cheese, as well as foundation cheese recipes. Their gourmet flavoured cheese covers a wide range including chilli, lemon myrtle, and many more. You’re sure to find a cheese that’s to your liking.

Additionally, their mild and mature cheddar is famous among kids and families who enjoy the simple taste of cheese. They also make terrific fetta and halloumi.
