    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.

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

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

      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.

      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!
