Jannei’s Lidsdale – A True Artisan Goat Cheese
Lidsdale is a distinctive semi-hard goat cheese, crafted from the rich summer flush of goat’s milk. This unique cheese develops depth and complexity as it matures – by the end of winter it offers a long, lingering palate with sweet finishing notes.
Hand-crafted into wheels weighing between 2.5 and 4 kg, Lidsdale evolves beautifully:
-
4–5 months – Mild and delicate, with a fresh, creamy character.
-
12–24 months – Intensely rich, with a long palate and sweet parmesan-like notes.
The result of Neil’s 30-year cheesemaking journey, Lidsdale reflects Jannei’s unwavering commitment to artisanal excellence. Named after our suburb near Lithgow, it has a proud history of accolades:
-
Gold – 2000 /2002
-
Silver – 2010
-
Gold – 2022, alongside Jannei’s raw milk cheese.
Serving suggestion: Allow Lidsdale to come to room temperature to fully release its aroma and flavour. Enjoy in wedges of 170 g or 250 g (8-week best-before date), or indulge in a full wheel.
Wholesale whole wheel pricing: $300–$500 (depending on weight), plus freight. Pre-payment is required. Delivery available to all CBD areas.
We are proud small-batch producers, dedicated to quality over quantity. Your support helps us invest back into our cheesemaking and continue our craft

Eugene Khoo –
This is another great cheese from Jannei. In response to the much-loved grana padano, Jannei has come out with a viable contender. Highlights of grass and subtle almonds, this is something to eat on its own or whenever you need a harder cheese for culinary application. It will not be unreasonable to negotiate for a whole wheel of cheese to be aged longer if these are your requirements, call Jannei and see. Farm visit 4 Mar 2016, Reviewed 6 Mar 2016.
