Since 1998, artisan cheese makers Miles and also Janet King have actually silently created a broad series of supreme ewe and cow's milk cheeses on their idyllic 30-acre farm on the outskirts of Masterton, New Zealand.
Kingsmeade started making ewe's milk cheeses with milk from their own flock of East Friesian sheep. Clover, chicory, plantain and lucerne cover broad, green meadows. The sheep allow, contented and full of individuality-- no requirement to round them up at milking time, they listen to Miles' voice and begin their own.
After years of hands on care, meticulous records and also genetic studies, Miles' flock has actually developed into New Zealand's initial registered sheep milking breed - Dairymeade.
Today, Kingsmeade makes nine different varieties of cheese, a lot of from ewe's milk and some from cow's. All are uniquely hand crafted, ranging from aged difficult varieties to deliciously creamy.
Calmness as well as silently spoken, Miles is hands-on from the first steamy breath of the newborn lambs to the everyday milking, cheesemaking, cutting as well as packaging. Each set of cheese is hand made in the manufacturing facility on the farm, appropriate next to the family home. Janet runs the distribution, cheerfully dispatching orders throughout New Zealand.
