| DELAMERE GOLDEN BRIE- Made by Katy Hollinshead at Ravens Oak Dairy near Nantwich, Cheshire. The Guernsey herd beside the A51 near Tarporley, on the Cheshire Plain, produces one of the richest flavours in Britain. Dairy Farmer Andrew Hope takes the milk to be gently hand made into these small deep golden cheeses. One of the best combinations of herd, pasture and timing produce this artisan cheese. |
| |
| NORTHUMBRIAN BALTIC- Liverpool Ale washed – Made by Margaret-Ann Maxwell at Doddington Dairy, Wooler, Northumberland. This dairy farm is in the Glendale Valley, close to the sea, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. Brother Neill runs the dairy farm, and Sister Margaret-Ann is the cheesemaker. From the early morning milking to the rawmilk cheese starting its maturity takes 7 hours, capturing the freshness of the milk’s flavour. Their first cheese was made 1993, after Margaret-Ann had studied cheesemakers in the Netherlands, France and with British Artisans. Baltic is named after the Liverpool micro brewery by Albert Dock run by a University friend, whose beer is used to wash cheese. |
| |
| HELER'S TRADITIONAL CHESHIRE BLUE- Made by Mike Heler at Laurel Farm Dairy, Hatherton, Nantwich, Cheshire. This blue cheese is an important part of Cheshire’s heritage as a world class milk field. Its landscape on the Westside of Cheshire, is mild and damp with rain off the Irish Sea, ideal for the grass pastures. Four generations of the Heler family have revived the tradition of Cheshire Blue, using milk from their own herd. The slight blueing is a result of cave like humidity entering the cheese to enhance flavour. |
| |
| SYKES FELL LANCS EWES– Made by the Proctor family at Goosnargh, Lancs PR3. A 4th generation Lancashire cheese making family, run by Peter & Grace and son Steven. Friesland Sheep’s milk is sourced from John Stott’s modern sheep milking parlour at nearby Chipping village in the Ribble Valley. The result is a sweet flavour, matured for 2-3 months. |
