Bega Strong & Bitey

Bega Strong and Bitey is a vintage cheddar cheese with a rich, sharp full bodied flavour, synonymous with Bega.

Heritage Reserve

Matured for 18 months to 2 years, this sharp flavoured cheese is one of our favourites. Heritage Reserve exhibits the characteristics of an aged cheese – a stronger flavour, crumblier texture and often the presence of calcium lactate crystals. This cheese is best served at room temperature on a cheese board alongside some fruit paste or fresh fruit. Heritage Reserve is available only at the Heritage Centre.

Cheese Sticks

Now you can enjoy our tasty cheese in a convenient single serve cheese stick. Ideal for lunches, salads, parties and catering, and great with a glass of wine.
