• About Ashgrove

    Tasmanian dairy. Family owned.

    Ashgrove is a 100% Tasmanian family-owned dairy business based at Elizabeth Town in Northern Tasmania.

    Since 1993, we’ve been making award-winning dairy products from premium Tasmanian farm milk — from bottling fresh milk and cream to handcrafting cheese, churning butter and creating specialty dairy products.

    Today, Ashgrove brings together generations of dairy knowledge, traditional cheesemaking craft and modern manufacturing, with one thing at the centre of everything we make: exceptional Tasmanian farm milk.

    A true sense of place

    Where we are matters.

    Our factory is located at Elizabeth Town in Northern Tasmania, within the 41st parallel south — a cool, fertile region with a long history of dairy production.

    Tasmania’s climate, water and pastures help support high-quality milk. We source Tasmanian milk, including milk from Bennett families' farms, bringing it to our Elizabeth Town factory where it is transformed into the products we make today.

    41° Latitude™ is more than a location. It is part of our provenance — connecting our products to the landscape, people and place that make Tasmanian dairy distinctive.


    From milk to more

    Milk is at the heart of Ashgrove.

    At Elizabeth Town, we bottle fresh milk and cream, craft cheese, churn butter and create a growing range of specialty dairy products.

    Our cheesemakers combine traditional techniques — including hand pressing, cloth binding and careful ageing — with modern dairy manufacturing and a strong focus on quality.

    From fresh milk to distinctive aged cheeses, we turn premium Tasmanian milk into products made to be enjoyed every day and shared around the table.



    Award-winning dairy

    Quality is something we work at every day — and our products have been recognised at dairy and food competitions across Australia.

    Our awards span the breadth of our range, including fresh milk, cheese, cream and butter.

    In 2026, our Walls of Jerusalem Tasmanian Wild Wasabi Cheese was named Champion Club Cheese at the Dairy Industry Association of Australia Awards. Ashgrove also received 22 medals at the Royal Hobart Show, including Reserve Champion recognition for Light Pink Milk, alongside awards across our broader dairy range.

    Our 2025 Dairy Industry Association of Australia results included Gold medals for Full Cream Milk, Non-Homogenised Milk, Eco-Milk, Herb & Garlic Butter and several cheeses.

    For us, awards are recognition of the people, milk, craftsmanship and attention to detail behind every product.

    Family-owned. Tasmanian made.

    More than 30 years after our first vat of cheese was made, Ashgrove remains independently family owned.

    Now in our second generation, we continue to invest in our people, our products, our manufacturing and new ideas while staying connected to where we began.

    Our aim is simple: to create dairy products that genuinely reflect where they come from.
