Dairying started in the Bega Valley in the 1850s. In those days each farmer produced and sold cheese from his own dairy. In an effort to improve their individual production and marketing activities, local farmers banded together to establish The Bega Co-operative Creamery Company on July 15, 1899.
Australia's Leading Cheese Brand
More than 50 million Bega branded products are sold throughout Australia each year. The popularity of Bega Cheese is due to the universally admired consistency in flavour and texture, and the fact that it is sourced from the clean, green Bega Valley. The quality of our products is often recognised by the many gold medals and blue ribbons won at Royal Agricultural shows and in annual Dairy Industry Association competitions.
