After many months of tweaking our recipe, we finally produced a superb tasting cheese to match the popularity of our award winning yoghurts.
Our new sheep’s milk cheese is called “Melbury”, after the location of our own sheep’s milk farm near Shaftesbury in the Dorset Countryside.
It is a hard cheese and is matured for 7 months to make sure we get the perfect taste and texture.
After launching our Melbury cheese, we entered it into the Royal Bath & West Show’s British Cheese Awards competition and came away with 2 awards for it!
This is what the judges had to say about it:
“Has a great appearance, interesting texture, appears aged but with a great mouth feel, and a well-balanced flavour.”
This is how another ‘International Cheese Awards’ judge described it:
“Beneath its amber, mould -dappled natural rind lies an ivory paste that is both slightly granular and very rich, boasting toasted wheat aromas and nutty grassy-sweet flavours. With a complexity and depth that excites the taste buds. Perfect with a big Bordeaux, Port or any new -world red wine “


Our family-owned dairy sits just outside Blandford Forum in the heart of beautiful Dorset countryside where we have been making our award-winning yoghurts for many years.
