King Island Dairy is closing next year. No more amazing triple cream brie and smoked cheddar. And 60 people losing jobs in a small community. Devastating.
So sad. Love their brie. I guess Iβll just have to over indulge while itβs still available. It seems like it should be a profitable business? Surely thereβs a cheese loving millionaire that wants to buy it? Donβt they want to save their cheese platters? Do it for the good of the nation!
Triple cream brie is the goat and I'm sad π
I bought the brie and cream on very special occasions. Saputo, a Canadian based multinational company which expanded via mergers and acquisitions, can't find a buyer.
What?! No!
Oh no! I remember scrolling through the King island website, and they were really proud of the cheese π
Definitely a loss...but their prices were pretty out there. I want to support local businesses, but can't justify the costs most times.
