Product Description
Made with milk from the cheesemaker's, family-run farm, Bath Blue cheese is produced by following a traditional Stilton recipe. It is creamy, with even blueing throughout.
Nestled in the Mendip Hills, Park Farm has been home to the Padfield Family for four generations. Cheese was made here as far back as 1914. All the cheeses are made on the farm using milk from the family’s Friesian herd.
Bath Blue follows a traditional Stilton recipe but unlike the majority of Stiltons, with a few notable exceptions, each stage is done entirely by hand. They are made in very small batches using a vat which is around half the size of even the smallest Stilton maker and then in individual buckets. By making to such a small scale, the cheese-maker has greater control over the alchemy of cheese-making and can maintain the highest quality.
Graham and Hugh were delighted when Bath Blue was voted Supreme Champion at the 2014 World Cheese Awards. More recently it won gold in the 2017 Artisan Cheese Awards too.
*A whole Bath Blue weighs approximately 8kg. Smaller weights are a cut of a whole cheese.

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 it’s 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 café, we want to give the best possible experience, while continuing to find ways to improve upon it.
