Description

Jannei Lidsdale, a semi-hard mature goat cheese crafted during the summer months with rich summer milk, stands as a testament to artisanal excellence. While inspired by a cheddar recipe, this hand-made 3-kilo ripened wheel is a unique creation, diverging significantly in character. Its potential unfolds in a range of flavors, from a very rich profile with sweet parmesan notes when matured for 12 months to two years, to a milder yet tasty experience at 4-8 months. Typically available for purchase at 8 to 12 months old, this cheese embodies the dedication of 28 years of cheese-making expertise.

The Lidsdale, nurtured yearly from its inception, holds a special place in Neil’s cheese-making journey. Initially conceptualized 28 years ago, it mirrors the kind of cheese one might venture over mountains to discover in France, yet here, you find Neil at Jannei Farm just outside Lithgow! Serve Lidsdale at room temperature, allowing it to sit for an hour before unveiling its rich flavors. Notably, when its taste was particularly robust, it earned the moniker “Hill Billie Goat” and secured a Silver award in 2010. With Lidsdale, you have the opportunity to curate an entire platter of Jannei cheeses.

Delight in the experience of Jannei Lidsdale, available in small vacuum-sealed wedges weighing 150gm to 175gm, each with an 8-week best-before date, ensuring the freshness of this artisanal masterpiece.

  1. 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.
