The Fine Cheese Co. visit Timsbury to see how Tymsboro’ goats’ milk cheese is made.

The Fine Cheese Co. visit Berkswell Cheese-makers

The milk is h... Read More
The Fine Cheese Co. visit Hafod Cheese-makers
Being a Somerset cheese company means we’re joined at the hip to our local Cheddar makers: from the mighty Montgomery’s to the wonderful Westcombe. Because of this, getting my West Country colleagues to take on a Welsh Cheddar was on the impossible side of difficult. But there it now rests, on our bowing spruce boards and in its rightful place: Hafod (pronounced Havod – meaning summer pasture in Welsh) - one of the finest Cheddars made in t... Read More
