Cheese in Australia

Cheddar remains the most popular variety of cheese in Australia, largely due to its versatility and widespread use. However, the category has experienced a slowdown as non-cheddar cheese varieties have become increasingly prevalent, reflecting changing consumer preferences. This shift is largely driven by the increasing demand for mozzarella cheese, particularly in the foodservice channel, where it is a key ingredient in pizzas and other Italian dishes.
