Well, except Feta - the Greek stuff is amazing.

You can buy Australian made "Greek style" Feta. Try this one: https://www.mungallicreekdairy.com.au/products/organic-fetta-in-brine/

Oh I know. We don't have that particular brand, but we have similar fetta of great calibre. My point was more that the locally produced fetta isn't superior than the Greek stuff. The same goes for Parmesan: some of the imported parmesan holds its own against Australian-made cheeses.

But I've never had a European prosecco that was as good as locally-produced product.

The brand I linked is sold nationwide - have you tried it? I don't think there's any other dairy like it in the world.

The cows are 100% grass fed, and the grass is incredible. The soil on those farms was built up by being rainforest for over a hundred million years - unfortunately the land was cleared before it could be protected under Unesco World Heritage laws, and the paddocks get rain almost daily. Sometimes they are literally in the clouds.

They do a decent job at the factory as well, but mostly it's the quality of the milk that makes it so premium.

It sometimes feels like we are another country, but I promise that WA is still a part of Australia, and their own website says "no results found" when searching for a place to buy the Feta here.
