Since 1998, artisan cheese makers Miles and Janet King have actually quietly created a broad variety of supreme ewe and also 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 very own flock of East Friesian sheep. Clover, chicory, plantain and also lucerne cover broad, green meadows. The sheep allow, contented and also full of individuality-- no demand to round them up at milking time, they hear Miles' voice as well as come on their very own.

After years of hands on care, meticulous records and also genetic studies, Miles' flock has actually turned into New Zealand's first registered sheep milking breed - Dairymeade.

Today, Kingsmeade makes nine various varieties of cheese, most from ewe's milk and some from cow's. All are uniquely hand crafted, varying from aged difficult varieties to deliciously creamy.

Tranquility and silently spoken, Miles is hands-on from the very first steamy breath of the newborn lambs to the everyday milking, cheesemaking, cutting and packaging. Each batch of cheese is hand made in the factory on the farm, right alongside the family home. Janet runs the distribution, cheerfully dispatching orders throughout New Zealand.
