Christmas cheese is on its way! 🎄 🧀

We’ve know it’s only just September, but…

We’ve been very busy in the cheese dairy over the last few weeks as we get all our cheeses made and ready for Christmas. 🧀

Our Sparkenhoe blue, Shropshire blue, Bosworth Field, Redemore, Upton, and Sparkenhoe Red will be maturing so that it’s ready in time for the Christmas rush.

Which cheeses will you be adding to your Christmas table? 🧀🧀

A few behind the scenes snaps (and some new arrivals) of farm life lately!

As you’ll see, our farm dogs have been having fun at Sparkenhoe Farm through the summer - and meeting our newest calves!

You can also see our cheeses (including us rubbing down Shropshire Blue, ready for Christmas!), the tearoom in the summer sun, some of our cheeses maturing, AND our silage which will feed our girls through the winter 🐄 🧀

Over the last few weeks, our team has been hard at work harvesting our ripe summer crops. 🚜

We use a combine harvester to cut the plants and separate the grain from the stalks. 🌾

The stalks are important too! They get used as straw to help keep our cows warm, comfortable and dry through the colder winter months. 🐄

We also bring in our hay, which will be an important feed source for the cows during the cold, dark winter.

Once the crops have been harvested, we spread different types of muck to prepare the soil for the next years seeds, giving next year’s crops the best possible start.

Harvest is an essential part of our farm process. Without it, our raw milk and raw cheese just wouldn’t be the same. 🚜 🧀

Have you tried our brand-new Upton cheese yet? 🧀🧀

Upton is the newest addition to the Leicestershire Handmade Cheese range - and it’s now available to buy in wholesale and in our shop! 👀 🧀

Inspired by the classic French Reblochon, its a beautifully-handcrafted raw milk, washed-rind cheese, made in our cheese dairy here in Leicestershire.

It’s extremely popular with customers thanks to its soft, creamy and velvety texture beneath its rind, with rich buttery flavours. It melts like a dream. 🤤

You can also expect gentle savoury and nutty notes with a wonderfully smooth finish that will appeal to lovers of traditional soft cheeses.

UPTON has been created to offer cheesemongers a British alternative to a classic continental favourite, bringing together artisan craftsmanship and exceptional flavour. 🧀

If you want to be among the first to try this delicious new cheese to your customers...get in touch! 🏃‍♀️

Another behind-the-scenes from our cheese dairy - and isn’t this one satisfying to watch? 🧀 👀

From milking our cows to making and maturing our cheeses, every step of the cheesemaking process happens right here on our farm. 🐄🧀

It takes time, care, and plenty of expertise.

Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show you the cutting of the curd for our Sparkenhoe Blue. 🧀

Our unique raw milk gives the cheese its distinctive terroir. We add rennet to set the curd - and then comes the cutting. 👀

Cutting the curds helps to release the whey. The smaller the curds are cut, the more whey is released.

To achieve the rich, creamy texture that our Sparkenhoe Blue is known and loved for, we don’t cut the curds too small. 🧀

Once they’re cut, we gently drain the curds before moving on to the next stage…scooping!

Watch to the end for more calf cuddles! 🥰 🐮

We wanted to share some more behind-the-scenes content from our farm so that you can see the love, care and expertise that goes into our raw milk and artisan cheese. 🧀

One of the reasons why our raw milk and cheese are so delicious is because we truly care.

And it’s this delicious milk that then goes on to be used in our cheese dairy, creating our Sparkenhoe Red (voted as one of the world’s best cheeses!), as well as our Shropshire Blue, Sparkenhoe Blue, Bosworth Field, AND our new Redemore and Upton cheeses. 🧀

This is the reality of buying from farms like ours. From rearing and milking the cows to making and even maturing our cheese, we do everything ourselves! 🌱 dairyfarmers britishfarming British farm britishcheese rawmilk artisan artisanfood ancestralfood

Here’s a sneak peek of our beautiful cows being milked.

Our girls are a huge reason why our cheese and raw milk tastes so special, so they always receive extra TLC.

From feeding on our lush, clover-rich pastures in the warmer months (you can even taste the difference, depending on what they’re eating!) to enjoying back scratches in the winter, they receive only the best treatment. 🐮 🥰

After milking, their milk is bottled up so you can enjoy our raw milk. 🥛

It also makes its way to the cheese dairy, ready to make our award-winning cheeses. 🧀

Thank you to Millie, who does an incredible job at milking and caring for our cows, for this amazing video. 🥰 🐄
