A cheese often consigned to the kitchen, rather than granted pride of place on the cheeseboard, our Taleggio is a revelation. Made from the raw milk of several small local farms, by the village co-operative, right in the heart of Val Taleggio, the valley from which the cheese takes its name. Made by hand in tiny batches, it is a world away from its mass-produced cousins. The rosy, sometimes mould-mottled rind, encases a fruity silky paste, which may break down at the edges but remains crumbly and fresh-tasting in the centre.
*A whole Taleggio weighs approximately 1.8kg. Smaller weights are a cut of a whole cheese.

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.
