About
Since 1998, artisan cheese makers Miles as well as Janet King have actually silently created a broad series of supreme ewe and also cow's milk cheeses on their idyllic 30-acre farm on the outskirts of Masterton, New Zealand.
Kingsmeade started out making ewe's milk cheeses with milk from their own flock of East Friesian sheep. Clover, chicory, plantain and also lucerne cover broad, green meadows. The sheep are big, contented and filled with personality-- no demand to round them up at milking time, they listen to Miles' voice as well as come on their own.
After years of hands on care, meticulous records as well as genetic studies, Miles' flock has developed into New Zealand's very first registered sheep milking breed - Dairymeade.
Today, Kingsmeade makes 9 different varieties of cheese, many from ewe's milk and also some from cow's. All are uniquely hand crafted, ranging from aged tough varieties to deliciously creamy.
