Multiple award-winning RICHMOND RED cheese
Neudorf Dairy has made quite a splash in the New Zealand quality cheese market since its inception in 2005. Many people are intrigued by the "novelty" of sheeps milk cheeses, and then realise these are some of the most distinctive and delicious cheeses they have ever tasted. Try for yourself - buy some online, or through quality food stores nationwide.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Cuisine Magazine (January 2007), New Zealands premiere food magazine.
They described our cheeses as "not to be missed".
Delicious magazine, (Febuary 2006)
Neudorf Dairy was recommended as a "Place to Shop" as part of an informative guide to the Nelson region. It's also great to see some of the outstanding Nelson restaurants that serve our cheeses mentioned in this respected Australian food guide. About us, they said "... the cheeses are worth the
stop. Moreish sheep?s-milk cheeses include the soft, fresh Mount Crusader. Pick up some before you go for a picnic at Neudorf winery... which is just up the road."
(Note: Since then we have moved our shop down to the Old Post Office in Upper Moutere Village where Joanne Costar runs an excellent shop specialising in local produce and products, well worth a visit and also on the way to Neudorf Vineyards)
Annabelle White (Author and television chef) recently included our "artisan cheese made with love" in her Gourmet Weekend . She recommends "try the Richmond Red, Mt Arthur and Neudorf cheese, particularly leave room for the hard salty traditional feta."
Juliet Harbutt, one of the world's leading authorities on cheese;"Thank you for your marvellous cheeses, they were a real treat."
Angela Bone, Executive Chef, The Lodge at Paratiho Farms,"The cheese was fantastic with its unique flavours and was very well received"
