Handmade Cheese made in Oamaru The Berry's are a 4th generation Otago farming family.
(382)

Whitestone Cheese was founded in 1987 as a diversification during the 1980's rural downturn and a series of crippling droughts. The original factory was set up in a commercial garage with milk sourced from local farms and one cheese variety Farmhouse was launched. The business slowly grew as an extension of the farming operation until today's purpose built factory was commissioned in 1996. Son Simon joined the business with a new set of skills and the farm was sold to concentrate on the growing the exciting family enterprise.

Golden, crispy, squeaky… 🔥🧀

Our Ferry Road Halloumi is made for the grill. It holds its shape as it cooks, developing a delicious golden crust while staying firm and satisfyingly squeaky inside.

Try it on the BBQ, drizzled with a little honey and finished with a squeeze of lemon. 🍋🍯

Who’s putting Halloumi on the grill this summer? 👀

Happy NZ Cheese Month!

This week's special: our award-winning 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨 is just $𝟲.𝟴𝟬.

Champion of the NZ Cheese Awards in both 2025 and 2026, Monte Cristo is a sheep's milk cheddar matured for around fourteen months. It's complex, nutty and fruity, starting subtle and growing stronger and more complex with age. It's named after the Berry family farm at Maheno, just south of Oamaru. Serve at room temperature with fresh bread and fruit chutney, alongside a Cab Merlot, Cab Sav or a brown ale.

From the Berry family farm to your cheeseboard, every NZ-made cheese you buy supports local farmers, makers and communities. Thank you for backing us!

Happy NZ Cheese Month!

This week's special: our Farmhouse is just $𝟰.𝟱𝟬.

Farmhouse is where it all began. It was the first cheese our founders Bob and Sue Berry made in 1987, in a converted garage in Oamaru with milk from local farms. It's still one of a kind, the only pressed cheese with a white bloomy rind. It's mild and semi-soft with a springy texture, a fresh lemongrass aroma and a delicate, savoury finish. Enjoy it on a cheeseboard with a Riesling, Pinot Gris or a crisp Pilsner, or grill, bake or melt it into a sauce.

Buying NZ-made means supporting the farmers, makers and communities behind every wheel. We're grateful for every one of you!

Offer runs 19 to 25 October 2026. Not valid in conjunction with any other offer.
