When should you buy your Christmas cheese?

To ensure the cheeses are at their best ripeness and flavour profile, Roger recommends buying them at the beginning of December.

If like a lot of people you are not sure how to store cheese effectively then here’s some top tips:

> don’t let it dry out
> allow the cheese to breathe
> don’t over chill it
> store in a Tupperware
> keep blue cheeses separate
> bring to room temperature before serving

Yes you can!

The rind plays a vital role in protecting the cheese, as well as contributing to the flavour and texture of the cheese. The rind on Moo’dy Blue is nice and thin, so is very palatable, adding a little toothy bite to an otherwise very creamy blue cheese.

And just like that we’re getting ready for Christmas...

We try really hard to get our quantities right for the festive period and don’t like disappointing anyone. If you want to feature Rachel on your cheese counter then please do get in touch at [email protected]

Bread and cheese lunch - yes please!

We love to hear from people who have discovered our cheeses and enjoyed them.

Earlier this week, home baker, Marie Lester got in touch to share her Bread and Cheese Lunch, which featured our cheeses and her beautiful bread.

We’ve got your cosy autumn nights covered! 🍂 🧀

Here you can see Moo’dy Blue, our Jersey cow’s milk blue cheese being pierced before going into the maturing room.

The holes created by the needle introduce oxygen into the paste, allowing the Penicillium to wander and form the iconic blue veins.

If you tend to avoid blue cheese then we highly recommend you giving Moo’dy Blue a try as it has a creamy texture, a gentle tang and hint of sweetness from the milk.

It’s a question that comes up a a lot and the answer is yes you can.

The rind is a very important part of the cheese maturing process and adds to the flavour and texture of the cheese.

Pavé Cobble is an ash coated sheep’s cheese with a geotrichum rind. We recommend eating the cheese in wedges so you can enjoy the contrast of the velvety, sweet and acidic paste and the slightly peppery and earthy bite of the rind.

Do you eat the rind?

Is Tuppence Britain’s Best New Cheese?

You can help decide...

We’re delighted to say that our small but perfectly formed Crottin-style sheep’s cheese, Tuppence has been named as a finalist in People’s Cheese 2026: Britain’s Best New Cheese.

Organised by The Real Cheese Project, the first round of public voting took place at Chiswick Cheese Market earlier this year, where hundreds of cheese lovers tasted lots of new cheeses to find the final four.

People’s Cheese 2026: Britain’s Best New Cheese finalists:​​

Lindley - Primrose Creamery in Nottinghamshire

Jemima Wild Filly - Caws Pencw in Fishguard, Wales

Tuppence - White Lake Cheese in Somerset

Carreg Las - Caws Cenarth, Carmarthenshire

The live online final will take place on Saturday 17 October at 7pm.

You can join the public judging panel and vote for the Champion, by reserving a tasting box and tuning in on the night. Tasting boxes are available to pre-order at www.therealcheeseproject.co.uk.

On Friday 2 October, our own Roger Longman and Caroline Sharley from the Giggling Grape will be joining forces once again to host an epic evening of cheese and w**e pairing at Market House in Castle Cary.

Earlier this year, we launched four new cheeses and gave Caroline the task of finding the perfect w**e pairings. In the process, Caroline tore up and threw out the rule book, but more than delivered, finding four tantalising pairings that stopped Roger in his tracks.

During the evening, Roger and Caroline will talk you through each pairing, telling the story behind each cheese and w**e, as your tastebuds are tantalised.

We hope to see you there!

The pairings
The English Pecorino Fresco paired with Vermentino di Bolgheri, Guado al Tasso, Tuscany, 2025.

Tuppence paired with Babich Classics, Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2023.

Glastonbrie paired with Darriaud, Cotes de Rhone Villages, IGP, France, 2023.

Persian Gold paired with Mandrarossa, Nero D’Avola, Sicily, Italy. 2024.

Persian Gold is our new lactic Jersey cow’s milk cheese in herb infused Rapeseed oil. Zesty, bright and slightly salty with hints of fresh herbs, it’s a real summery cheese, so needs something, crisp, fresh and ice cold on the side right?

Well think again…. Caroline at has done it again and matched Persian Gold with a medium Sicilian red!

Both the w**e and the cheese are ripe and soft, yet the w**e doesn’t dominate the complex aromatic cheese and the cheese doesn’t dampen the w**e.
