Deep Dive

A closer look

Meredith Dairy's marinated sheep and goat cheese comes from the town of Meredith in Victoria, Australia, where the Cameron family has been milking their flocks for decades. It can't legally be called feta thanks to PDO rules, but the recipe sits right in that fresh, lactic, brine-cured neighborhood.

The cheese is cubed and submerged in Australian extra virgin olive oil with garlic, whole peppercorns, rosemary, and thyme. The paste is soft, creamy, and spreadable, with a bright yogurty tang from the sheep and goat blend that reads cleaner and milder than a traditional Greek feta. Every cube comes out of the jar glossy with infused oil, so the cheese arrives already dressed, herbs and pepper warmth threading through the lactic finish.

This is one of those jars that quietly takes over the fridge. Spread it on warm bread, fold it through pasta, spoon it over roasted vegetables, and pour the leftover oil into a salad dressing once the cheese is gone. Nothing goes to waste.

The Tasting Notes

Texture

Soft, creamy, and spreadable, broken into cubes that hold their shape in the oil but melt across the tongue.

Intensity

Gentle and bright, with the lactic tang of sheep and goat milk leading and the marinade herbs threading through every bite.

Finish

The garlic, peppercorn, and herb-infused olive oil carries the finish for a good fifteen seconds past the cheese itself.

Lactic

Fresh and milky front-to-back, a clean yogurty tang from the sheep and goat blend without any barnyard.

Nutty

Not a nutty cheese, this is fresh and unaged so there is none of the browned-butter character you get from aged sheep cheeses.

Earthy

A quiet herbal, garden-floor note from the rosemary, thyme, and garlic in the marinade rather than the cheese itself.

Spicy

A soft peppercorn warmth from the marinade on the back end, more aromatic than hot.

The Pairing

What to pour. What to put alongside.

Marinated Sheep and Goat Cheese stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.

Like wine tasting, but for cheese

Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.

Excellent customer service on a shipped order

Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.

Meet the Maker

Meredith Dairy

Family · Founded 1991 by Sandy and Julie Cameron, still family-run · Meredith, Victoria, Australia · Est. 1991

“Single-farm sheep and goat milk from their own pasture-raised herds, made into fresh lactic cheese on the same site it's milked — provenance and freshness over scale.”

Meredith Dairy sits in the volcanic hills outside Meredith, Victoria, about an hour west of Melbourne, where Sandy and Julie Cameron started milking sheep in 1991 and added goats not long after. What began as a small family farm has stayed exactly that — a single-site operation where the milk walks from the milking shed to the dairy and the cheese is made the same week it's drawn. The Camerons run their own East Friesian sheep and Saanen-cross goat herds, pasture-raised on basalt country, and that single-origin milk is the whole point: nothing pooled, nothing trucked in.

The cheese they're known for everywhere — including our case — is the Marinated Sheep & Goat, sold in Australia as Meredith Dairy Marinated Feta. It's a fresh, lactic-set cheese, cut into soft cubes, then submerged in Australian extra virgin olive oil with garlic, thyme, oregano, and peppercorns. Technically it can't be called feta on a European label (PDO rules reserve that word for Greece), but the texture is its own thing anyway: spreadable, milky, tangy, the oil doing half the work as a marinade and half as a built-in preservative. Pour the leftover oil on toast and you'll understand why people buy it by the 4.4-pound tub.

They're a quiet operation — no chef ambassadors, no festival circuit — just a husband-and-wife dairy that figured out one cheese, made it beautifully, and kept making it. These guys nailed it.
