Nothing says Spring like the first batch of new season goat's curd, and this is one of my favourites. Jannei Goat Dairy is a true farmhouse operation, owned and run by Jannet and Neil Watson (Jan + Nei = Jannei), just outside Lithgow on the western side of the Blue Mountain Ranges.

| Jannei Fresh Curd |
Fresh curd really allows the quality of the milk to shine through. Being the youngest of all cheese styles, with virtually no 'maturation', there's litte the cheesemaker can do to tweek or enhance its natural flavours. And there's certainly nowhere to hide if the milk quality is below par.
Not that there's much risk of that at Jannei, where sustainable farming is practiced and the goats are grazed and given natural feed suplements. The Fresh Curd has a lovely texture - thick and creamy without being heavy or dry - and a delicious lemony tang. It's really clean and refreshing, and nicely salted.
Try it spread on olive bread, or dolloped on thinly sliced smoked trout with lemon zest - yum!
