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 I’ll just have to over indulge while it’s still available. It seems like it should be a profitable business? Surely there’s a cheese loving millionaire that wants to buy it? Don’t 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 πŸ˜”

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.

Oh no! I remember scrolling through the King island website, and they were really proud of the cheese πŸ˜”

Definitely a loss...but their prices were pretty out there. I want to support local businesses, but can't justify the costs most times.
