Artisan British cheeses 

We select and mature cheese.

We have nurtured and supported the cream of British cheese-makers. 

We offer a wide range: from hard to washed rind to soft. Some cheeses may be familiar but others are being exported only by us. In each case though, the story is similar. We work directly with cheesemakers. The milk is often from their own herds because they are also farmers. Their methods are traditional and their batches are small.  

But each works in their own terroir. Britain is not a big country but the diversity of cheese is great.

British Cheddar

Cheddar is well known, but is perhaps not so well understood. We are often asked why we stock so many. That is a valid question, especially when a cheesemonger only has so much counter space. The answer is that we have selected the Cheddar cheeses in this range because each possesses a unique set of characteristics that makes it utterly distinct from the others. We hope to make the distinctions clear, so that you can tell at a glance what you can expect from each Cheddar, and be armed with the knowledge you need to pick the ones that are right for you.

British Territorial and Hard Cheeses

British hard cheeses came to prominence during the British renaissance in cheesemaking, in the late 80s to early 90s. Now modern classics, these cheeses are a combination of traditional techniques and creative invention…and are superb additions to any collection.

British soft and washed rind

British soft and washed rind cheeses are a testament to the quality of rich and creamy milk, which is transformed into soft and luxurious creations, with golden and glorious oozy centers. A world of powerful, complex and intriguing flavors awaits. Some of these cheeses take their inspiration from their French counterparts, which have long been the gold standard. Others are born of British ingenuity and cheesemaking skill.  

*Please note that all the cheeses in this range are air order only.

British blue cheeses 

To earn the regal title of Stilton, a British blue must be made in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, or Leicestershire, to the exacting specifications and standards of the Stilton Cheesemakers’ Association. In spite of this, these celebrated cheeses vary greatly, and so each Stilton we hold offers something different.
