About Bega
Bega is the cheese brand of the company of the same name, which began as a dairy co-operative in the Bega Valley of New South Wales in 1899 and spent most of the following century concentrating on cheese production at its Bega sites. The name has since been stretched beyond cheese to peanut butter, and the listed company that owns it still keeps its principal registered office in the town of Bega.
