What'sĀ Included
St Jude
Soft and creamy with a wrinkled rind. More buttery in winter, and more vegetal in summer. Julie Cheyney told us this cheese was named after the patron saint of lost causes. Clearly St. Jude was listening; this cheese is heaven-sent.

FAQs
What makes The Fine Cheese Co. unique?
We select and mature traditionally-made artisan cheeses from independent producers who prioritise quality over profit.
For over thirty years we have nurtured and supported the cream of British cheesemakers, and we played an integral role in the revival of traditional British cheesemaking in the early 1990s.
We produce our own range of Partners for Cheese, and our cheese and partners are supplied to hundreds of UK retailers and exported to over 50 countries world-wide.
Who are the founders of The Fine Cheese Co.?
We were founded in 1990 by Ann-Marie Dyas, a renowned judge at both the British and World Cheese Awards and winner of the Guild of Fine Food Lifetime Achievement Award. Ann-Marie was committed to the survival and growth of traditional cheesemaking and to introducing and sharing farmhouse cheeses, as well as the stories behind them, to as wide a public as possible.
Ann-Marie's mission was "To seek out the best, and, when itās been found, to keep looking". This same tireless pursuit of excellence is the core value across the company.
From the producers we choose to work with to the coffee we serve in our cafƩ, we want to give the best possible experience, while continuing to find ways to improve upon it.
