Jannei goat milk products are all handmade – small batches of real dairy food. No preservatives, no additives – Our raw milk is not centrifuged at 50C and bacteria decanted. Is raw milk raw- just because companies are not taking the temperature up to 65C degrees for 10 minutes? But maybe- 50C and high speed. Raw to Jannei goat dairy is just keeping the milk clean as it is harvested. Our milk has to have no E-coli in it when it is tested at a lab and placed in an incubator for 24-hours at 30 C. This means it has to have a plate count less than 12,000- Not less than 500,000 as with cow dairies. For packing and delivery, we cool our clean milk to 2 Celsius and keep it at this temperature to slow down its activity and deliver it fresh our customers door using a cold freight company. Keeping our raw milk cold ensures that its living enzymes and probiotics remain active when it reaches our customers. Goat milk also has several other benefits: -it is easily digestible having small molecules – five times smaller than cow milk and the cream you see at the top is the cream the milk has. We do not take every ounce of cream off the milk – Goat milk has-3.9% fat. Goat milk contains 3.9% fat and is easily digested by the human body. Every part of our body can benefit from goats’ milk as a food. Even the brain.

Well back to this volume thing – it has now hit us on another front- our freight costs.

Sending our milk out has just taken a hike and it will take creative thinking by our customers to get our milk and kefir and cheese to you if you live interstate or outside CBD Sydney–The Wollongong and Central coast areas now have had a big hike.

IDEA??? Going forward. Customers wanting our product may have to contact us so we can organise a group delivery to one location at a split fee rate – hopefully about $35 .00 cost to each person in the delivery group- we could be supporting a small business like us in the area.

The idea is to have a cool room and negotiate a prepaid handover to customer fee for prepacked boxes. So we are looking for businesses to receive a handling fee to hand over boxes and also over time develop some stock turnover in their shop – SO pass this on and talk to great small local businesses – as said Central coast – Newcastle and even interstate – ACT, Victoria and Queensland – we would collect enough orders – charge freight and a hand over fee as said – for the shop, and the shop would get to buy stock at our wholesale and pay a minimal box fee freight as if we go over five boxes-each box attracts an extra charge to their shop. so it is tricky- but not impossible if people want real food.

Please add to this post – love to hear from you-

We are -Jannei Raw Milk, Kefir, Yoghurt and ARTISAN cheesemakers-

PS. Do not forget we are award winning cheesemakers with exceptional dairy produce – pasteurisation is only one element of the food we consume and not as bad as inedible additives! Cheese making starts with exceptional milk and plain ingredients creating fully edible and healthy food for our bodies.

2016 Gold Awards

The exciting news is that Jannei goat dairy has won two more Gold Awards at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. The Judges have given Jannei a gold award for our unpasteurised goat milk and our Bent Back Chevre fresh matured white mould cheese.

2016 Silver, Bronze Awards

Our Buche Noir also won silver and our Cheddar Chevre style achieved a Bronze.

This means that our freshest product, Milk, all the way to the other end has won gold.

A fresh taste and healthy quality is the major aim when we produce our products. A dedication to clean milk with approved quality control systems and of course our beautiful Dairy Does have all contributed to achieving this result.

Entering our cheeses yearly into these competitions helps us gauge how our product is going out in the wider community of cheese’s. Providing us with the opportunity change and improve what we do.

So it’s been a great way to see the summer out. Thanks everyone for your support.
