Company description
Since 1998, artisan cheese makers Miles and also 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 allow, contented as well as full of character-- no need to round them up at milking time, they hear Miles' voice and also come on their very own.
After years of hands on care, meticulous records and also genetic studies, Miles' flock has actually become New Zealand's very first registered sheep milking breed - Dairymeade.
Today, Kingsmeade makes 9 various varieties of cheese, a lot of from ewe's milk and also some from cow's. All are uniquely hand crafted, ranging from aged tough varieties to deliciously creamy.
Calmness as well as quietly spoken, Miles is hands-on from the very first steamy breath of the newborn lambs to the daily milking, cheesemaking, cutting and also packaging. Each set of cheese is hand made in the manufacturing facility on the farm, ideal alongside the family home. Janet runs the distribution, cheerfully dispatching orders around New Zealand.
