Milk Provenance

The milk for our cows' milk cheeses comes from farms here in Northumberland, close to our dairy on the Blagdon Estate. Fresh local milk is the starting point for every batch of Original, Nettle, Oak Smoked and Chilli, and it is what gives them their rich, creamy character.

Made at Our Northumberland Dairy

We ordered the four tier cheese wedding cake from them for our wedding on 29th December and it was the best experience. Lyn particularly was absolutely amazing and gave us advice and guided us through the process and a delicious tasting. All of the cheese was eaten after 2 days of celebration! And everyone commented on how delicious it was. Couldn't recommend more!
