Long time lurker, first time poster.
What: Meredith Dairy Marinated Goats Cheese 2kg for $50.
How: Order online and then collect in a car.
When: Between 9am-2pm 28/11/20.
Where: 6 Law Court, Sunshine West, 3020.
At $25/kg this is about as good as it will ever get. Is currently $36/kg at Woolworths.
I have to say that I am not a big cheese-eater but it spreads well on bread for a tasty snack.
The crack of cheeses. So good.
I am a big fan of this cheese, but ended up switching to the Yarra Valley - Persian Fetta, has a very similar taste and less expensive; at Costco it's $9 for 500g.
Meredith Dairy are very careful not to mention the words Persian and Fetta with regards to this marinated goats cheese 🤔
Personally find the Yarra Valley is a lot more crumbly and has a harder texture - the Meredith spreads like butter, excellent with avo.
How long does it last in the fridge once opened?
I've found it's ok for a couple of months - it's in oil which helps. Also the oil tastes great too.
I have one of these tubs in the fridge right now, I'm about half way through a month after opening.
This is really awesome cheese. I've tried other marinated goats cheese brands, but this one is by far the best!
how longs the shelf life?
NM, can't get there on that day, will still be in hospital post op :/
Just checked the one I have in my fridge - best before Jun 2021. So ages. I got it about a month ago.
In my experience they last in the fridge for months without any issues.
Best before is often 6+ months
Damn, I'm in QLD. Also here to recommend the crack cheese. Its really damn good. Like many others here I've got a jar in the fridge at the moment!
Pretty sure I paid $14.99 or $15.99 for 550g from Costco last week.
Unit savings not significant over the regular Costco price here to justify the extra upfront spend IMO.
Also - agree with other posters - the crack of cheeses.
What is the regular Costco price?
$14.99 or $15.99
This is the cheese that got me into goat cheese. I eat more bread as an excuse to mop up all the oil too.
Just took a look at an old receipt - $14.99 for 550g
Please take a photo next time you go. Might have to get a Costco membership for my next fix
@JMosk: Ask around, I am sure you will find a friend or two with Costco membership who can buy you some. The saving is not worth $65/year surely…
Otherwise you're eating too much cheese !!!!
I'd recommend taking a look at the practices of the industry you support when you purchase this cheese.
This footage was filmed at Meredith Dairy's farm.
OK so I did some investigation and it looks like this a common procedure but the process at the Meredith farm was a fair bit more awful then it should be…
