Cheese notes
All our cheeses are made soon after milking, as our milking stand backs directly onto our cheese room. The goats are not herded to milk but willingly follow Lindsey to the milking shed and jump up on the stand when it’s their turn! This contentment, proximity and freshness all contribute to the clean, sweet and mild flavours of our fresh cheeses.
Much as with fine wines, our cheeses are subject to seasonal variations due to the differing plants and herbs the goats are grazing and the resulting changes in milk. We aim for consistency in our cheeses but like to think of seasonal variations as part of the joy of our artisan product, made with love from our select herd of goats.
Fresh Lush
150g pottle – Shelf life 14 days
A smooth, fresh chèvre-style goats’ cheese, with an appealing hint of acidity and a mild citrus tang. Only the freshest milk is used to make our Lush Fresh, which allows the sweet creamy flavours to shine through.
Ideal for use in cooking, Lush works well in either sweet or savoury dishes. Pairs particularly well with any salmon dish where the high citrus notes of the cheese cut through the rich salmon flavour. Also goes beautifully with fresh fruit such as pears, strawberries and figs.

Lemony Lush
150 Gram Pottle – Shelf Life 21 Days
Lemony Lush uses our Fresh Lush as a base and we then add a lovely lemon Olive Oil drizzle. The Lemon Olive oil is from an award winning Martinborough olive oil producer called Olivo Olive Oil. We have added a smidgen of thyme to give it another flavour layer. Lemony Lush is perfect with a fresh loaf of crusty bread or your favourite packet of seed crackers.
Dill Lush
150 Gram Pottle – Shelf Life 21 Days
We have added a delicate sprinkling of Dill to our fresh Lush. This is a mild, soft creamy cheese with slight citrus notes. With the addition of Dill it makes it a perfect partner with Salmon, potato salad and fresh asparagus.

Frisky Feta
100g vacuum-packed – Shelf life 12 weeks (unopened)
A firm, brined feta, a silver medal-winner at the 2016 NZ cheese awards. Brined for one week, then vacuum packed. Mouthwatering nutty, wholegrain flavours abound in this distinctive cheese. The mild saltiness of the feta balances its gentle acidity, giving a full mouthfeel and superb finish.
Frisky Feta can be used in cooked dishes, for example in spinach-style pies and pastries, or is ideal in a salad.

Cheeky Camembert
130g wrapped wedge – Shelf life 8 weeks
Our silver-award-winning Cheeky Camembert is distinctly sweet and nutty, with a natural white mould rind. Initially firm, as it matures the residual acidity in the cheese becomes more mellow and the texture and flavour take on a creamier consistency. Earthy umami notes abound. A show-stopping addition to an end-of-meal cheeseboard, serve by itself with crusty fresh bread or with a tart sweet fruit paste.
Best served at room temperature.
