The Heart of Tilba Dairy – A Legacy of Quality and Sustainability

Nestled in the lush landscapes of Central Tilba on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Tilba Dairy has been setting the standard for premium dairy products for over 25 years. Founded by Nic and Erica Dibden, this 100% Australian family-owned business is renowned for its commitment to quality and sustainability. The farm’s unique Terre Noire and its herd of Jersey cows—the “queens of milking cows”—are the secrets behind the rich, creamy texture of their milk, cream, and artisan cheeses.

Tilba Dairy prides itself on tradition and innovation. Their unhomogenised milk harks back to old-fashioned cream-on-top milk, offering a wholesome experience for dairy enthusiasts. This milk is not just a beverage; it’s the foundation of an exquisite range of products, including tangy pot-set yoghurts, decadent double creams, and handcrafted cheeses like Brie, Haloumi, and Vintage Cheddar. These creations reflect the beauty and purity of Tilba’s pastures, where cows graze freely and happily.

Visiting Tilba Dairy is a delight for the senses. From the inviting Dairy Bar offering milkshakes, coffee, and ice cream to the historic ABC Cheese Factory with its cutting-edge production facilities, every aspect of the experience speaks to their dedication to excellence. Their focus on showcasing the best of Tilba has made them a must-visit destination on the Gourmet Coast Food Trail, where they shine as a cornerstone of regional produce.
