Mountainous South Tyrol lies along Italy’s border with Austria, resulting in a Tyrolean cuisine is a melting pot of both countries. Third generation salumi producers Robert and Paul Recla make their Speck Alto-Adige below the Alps in the beautiful and uniquely dry and sunny Vinschgau Valley, also known as Val Venosta. Only a few hams are considered fine enough by the brothers to become their traditional Oltspeck. Particularly well-marbled, it is rubbed with the family’s secret mix of spices and herbs, beechwood smoked, and air-dried for at least eight months – three months longer than a typical Speck would age. The smoke is prominent, but it is the particularly complex and sweet flavour of Oltspeck that makes it stand out above the rest.

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.
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.
