A whole world of New Zealand cheese at New World Hastings

New World Hastings is much more than your run-of-the-mill supermarket. While every New World is 100% NZ owned and operated, Hastings owner Katie Yates has taken their ‘support Kiwi’ ethos one step further with a dedicated New Zealand cheese selection.

Their large display showcasing over fourteen Kiwi cheesemakers is spearheaded by knowledgeable cheesemaker Bridget Gibson. It’s fantastic to see the best of NZ cheese become so accessible to even general grocery shoppers, and Bridget has made sure award-winning artisans such as Barrys Bay, Whitestone Cheese and Mahoe get the exposure to the wider public that they deserve.

The cheese selection here prioritises fresh seasonal products and interesting ingredients unique to New Zealand. New World Hastings has also created a range of premade cheese platters for their on-the-go customers who don’t want to miss out! If you do have the time, you won’t regret checking out the selection of fruit pastes, relishes and artisan crackers curated to complement the Kiwi cheese range. 

New World Hastings holds weekly tastings to showcase the best and latest Kiwi artisan cheeses so customers get a chance to appreciate the quality and variety of what’s on offer. Occasionally, they also hold larger themed tastings complete with a product showcase, recipes and display ideas!

Katie and Bridget’s commitment to New Zealand cheese artisans is indicative of the love their entire team has for Kiwi talent and their local community. Hawkes Bay residents – make your next routine shopping trip a cheese discovery adventure by stopping by New World Hastings!
