Since 1998, artisan cheese makers Miles as well as Janet King have 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 began 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 also full of character-- no need to round them up at milking time, they listen to Miles' voice as well as come on their very own. After years of hands on care, meticulous records and genetic studies, Miles' flock has become New Zealand's very first registered sheep milking breed - Dairymeade. Today, Kingsmeade makes nine various varieties of cheese, most from ewe's milk as well as some from cow's. All are uniquely hand crafted, varying from aged hard varieties to deliciously creamy.
