Nelson's Award-Winning Handmade Cheese

 

                           The award winning Neudorf Cheese is manufactured in the picturesque Upper Moutere hills near Nelson.

 

                           Since 2005 Fiona Guyan our head cheese maker has been producing magnificent sheeps milk cheeses, as seen by the

                           tremendous range of awards that her cheeses have won at the NZ Cheese Awards. The cheeses are carefully handmade

                           the traditional European way using Fiona's experiences in France, Germany and Italy.

 

                           Traditionally only sheep milk cheeses have been manufactured but recently cows milk cheeses have been added to the

                            range.

 

                           The cheeserie is on a farm owned and managed by the Beuke family who have been on this land for many generations

                           and on which they and their staff milk a large herd of East Friesian Sheep. The state of the art facility ensures quality is

                           guaranteed and at the same time the cellaring carefully replicates traditional European cave storage conditions. Cheeses

                           are hand turned, some being aged for more than 12 months before being released for sale.   

 

                           We aim to provide high quality, wholesome, and flavoursome cheeses made from the best quality ingredients that we

                           can obtain.
