MIN member wins more Awards...

Starting out just over three years ago, the Northampton Cheese Company never imagined cheese could be so popular. The cheese side of things began as a side project. Spurred on by curiosity and enthusiasm and the expert guidance of Christine Twell, a seasoned cheesemaker who used to run her own goat farm and dairy, they learned the craft from the ground up. Christine's passion and experience gave the foundation needed, and from there the Northampton Cheese Company went from strength to strength.

Extremely popular cheese Tongue Taster was followed by Phipps Firkin — a cheese that made history by becoming the first ever Northampton-made cheese to win silverware at the Melton Mowbray Artisan Cheese Awards.

2025 has been phenomenal so far, with wins at the British and Irish Cheese Awards. Winning Silver with Little Howie — which might look like a brie, but it's not. It's a semi-soft cheese with a distinctive flavour that keeps people coming back for more.

Their latest creation, a Marmite Cheddar, has already made waves. It just won Gold at this year's Melton Mowbray Awards, and a Silver at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards, where over 6,000 cheeses were judged across multiple categories.

The Northampton Cheese Company uses pasteurised cow's milk from a small, welfare-focused farm in Hinckley. No raw milk, no shortcuts. Just exceptional milk from well-cared-for cows, turned into handcrafted cheese with love and attention to detail.

Where to find them:

In the centre of Northampton at The Artisan Collective Pod on Northampton Market, open Wednesday to Saturday and also at Whites of Earls Barton and at many markets and events.
