OUR STORY
For thousands of years the Onkaparinga River (“The Women’s River”) carved its way through the Mt Lofty Ranges, birthing spectacular gorges and fertile valleys. Today, it’s the second largest river within the Adelaide region, and a vital source of drinking water to the city. The Onkaparinga Creamery calls this pristine environment home, with our cheese factory located directly over this significant estuary.
The Onkaparinga Creamery is housed within the heritage listed Lobethal Woollen Mill complex which started its life as a brewery in 1851 and operated as a woollen mill through the 1900’s. Now our cheese makers continue the legacy of skilled craftsmanship - ensuring our beautiful surrounds remain in pristine condition and able to provide bountiful produce for many years to come.
