Cornish Kern is an award-winning cheese made by Lynher Dairies in Cornwall who are better known for their Cornish Yarg but the Kern is a very different style of cheese. For a start it has a breathable wax rind and it is very hard. So hard in fact that we sometimes struggle to cut it! Kern is also more mature than the Yarg, it comes into us at 16-18 months. The added age allows the cheese to develop its full flavours. This is an alpine style cheese made in the heart of Cornwall. Full of rich, buttery flavours with a long lingering finish, this cheese is one to be savoured. (Vegetarian, Pasteurised, Cows’ milk)
Kingcott Blue is handmade on the farm at Kingcott Dairy in Staplehurst, Kent. Crafted from unpasteurized cows' milk from the farm’s own herd, this cheese presents a delightful combination of textures and flavours. Its soft centre is lightly veined with blue, contributing to a smooth, rich, and evenly distributed tangy taste. The family behind it has been farming in the UK for centuries, with their roots tracing back to the 1500s in Somerset! While they started dairy farming in Kent in 1990, it wasn't until 2009 that they began their journey into artisan cheesemaking to keep their small family farm viable. And they haven’t looked back!!

Golden Cenarth is a washed-rind cheese made by Carwyn Adams of Caws Cenarth cheese-makers on his family’s farm, Glyneithinog, in Carmarthenshire. Made using the farm’s organic cow’s milk, the cheese is somewhere between an Epoisses and a Reblochon. It is washed in cider as it matures to produce a sticky orange rind that becomes more pungent as it ages. It has a rich, nutty, savoury flavour and is great served at room temperature with a glass of beer. Alternatively, warm it in the oven in its box for 20 minutes to give you a gooey dipping cheese. Heavenly! (Vegetarian, Pasteurised, Cows' milk)
Quickes are one of the most well-known and well-respected cheese-makers in the country, making traditional cloth-bound cheddar on their Devon farm with the milk from their herd of cows (a unique cross of 7 different breeds to create the ultimate hybrid – the Quickes cow!). Devonshire Red is their distinctive take on a classic Red Leicester, a vibrant full-flavoured cheese. Typically matured for up to 6 months (this one is exactly four months old to the day!), this clothbound truckle offers fresh, nutty flavours and a lemony creaminess. (Pasteurised, Cows’ milk)
