Leading Australian gourmet cheese brand Jindi Cheese has been sold to Lactalis, the large French-based dairy group.
Lactalis through its control of Parmalat Australia already owns Pauls Milk, Vaalia yoghurt brands and flavoured milk brands Breaka, Oak and Rush.
It is reported that Lactalis paid around $20 million AUD for Jindi Cheese. All Jindi cheese staff will be retained as part of the Lactalis take-over and the current distributor, Menora Foods, will continue to distribute in Australia.
