Cheese Production
View Northumberland Cheese being Made
We will be holding cheese production on the following days in addition to our normal Monday to Thursday production. This will give visitors a chance to view Northumberland Cheese being made through the viewing windows.
Moulding time is when you will see the most activity this will be 11am. (Moulding time is when the cheese has been cut into curds and whey and the curds are placed into the moulds for pressing). Once you have viewed the production come upstairs to the coffee shop and have a relaxing lunch.
Saturday dates for 2010 are:
May 22nd
June 26th
Please note these dates may change subject to staff availability
