Jannei Marinated Goat’s Milk Cheese has been added to our website shop-

Jannei Creamy Fetta, spelt with two t’s, is a beautiful summer cheese. Handmade and packed on farm- these marinated jars of fetta goat milk cheese, are a Farmers Market favourite.

We make our goat milk cheese fetta in summer . Marinated goats milk cheese available online, we hope, will give you the charm, as if you have found us at a market. Handmade labels and beautifully filled to briming, jars- for gifting at any time of year.

Jannei is at three markets these days, but are proud to say we were in Eveleigh Markets first year -winter of 2010 and that year they won an award for the best market in Sydney. We were proudly at at Pyrmont Farmers Market start in 1998 till 2007 ! 2007 we won 7 awards at the Royal Easter Show and Neil had open heart surgery soon after . Amazingly – he is still here making amazing cheese.

Jannei has found getting to the markets harder over the years . Wages for an 8 hour turnaround set up and drive back- plus market fees and petrol, mean you have to sell a lot of product just to be there.

With Jannei products we are such a small farm making small batches of all our products. You can know what goes into all of our cheese is exceptional. Starting with our farm harvested raw goats milk. The marinated cheeses are no exception. Our marketing is about high end food inside a package or jar, no shortcuts, no preservatives , no stale food, no cheap fillers!
