Why are Australian dairy foods so valued?

Dairy foods are a core food group and play a naturally important part in dietary intake for most Australians. In fact, the National Health and Medical Research Council describes milk as “one of the most complete foods”.

Australian dairy products come from cows that spend most of their time grazing on pasturelands, rather than being kept in barns and only grain-fed. This difference is not only visible in the colour of Australian butter and cheese, but may also provide consumers with health and taste benefits arising from the more natural setting for the Australian dairy herds. Plus, of course, the cows enjoy the fresh air and sunshine!
