Can someone explain to me why Aussie cheeses (other than mousetrap)
are so much more expensive than their imported equivalents.   For
example, Australian Gouda is about $15 a kilo while the Dutch variety
is about $10.   Similarly with Brie and Camembert.   And anything with
"King Island" on the label seems to be priced around the $30+ mark.

I could understand it if the Aussie product was that much better but,
alas, not so to my taste.   I wonder if we export any of our cheese
and if so at what price?
