Since 1998, artisan cheese makers Miles and also Janet King have actually quietly created a broad series of supreme ewe as well as 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 allow, contented and full of character-- no requirement to round them up at milking time, they listen to Miles' voice and also begin their own.
After years of hands on care, meticulous records and also genetic studies, Miles' flock has become New Zealand's very first registered sheep milking breed - Dairymeade.
Today, Kingsmeade makes nine different varieties of cheese, most from ewe's milk and also some from cow's. All are uniquely hand crafted, varying from aged tough varieties to deliciously creamy.
Tranquility and silently spoken, Miles is hands-on from the very first steamy breath of the newborn lambs to the daily milking, cheesemaking, cutting and packaging. Each set of cheese is hand made in the manufacturing facility on the farm, best beside the family home. Janet runs the distribution, cheerfully dispatching orders throughout New Zealand. |
