Though Jan and John Walter have been farming goats since 1990, it was only in 2000 that the couple began hand-crafting cheeses and offering their stock of dairy products, including raw milk and yoghurt, to clients throughout New Zealand. The secret to their award-winning cheeses is patience: Jan and John faithfully oversee the production process from start to finish -- from selecting and milking the goats to ensuring each hand-molded batch is aged to perfection in the true artisan fashion.

We have added a few new cheeses to our range this year, one of these is Parvenu which won the Cuisine NZ Champions of Cheese Artisan Cheese Award at the 2008 awards. Read more about the cheeses and the awards that we have won on the cheeses page.
