Sharpham Cheese

Sharpham Cheese Award winning artisan cheeses, traditionally hand crafted in Devon using milk from our beautiful dairy herd, and ewe and goat's milk from our neighbours.

Behind the dairy door | Starting as the freshest of milk, through to scooping into moulds, then into the brine bath and onto maturing room… every cheese goes on a journey through the dairy.

Here, Claudia is turning out our Mini Cremet goats’ cheeses after their overnight drain and carefully stacking them onto wire racks. They’re now ready to be brined before heading into the maturing room.

For now, they’re fresh and pale, with their beautiful, bare surfaces on show.

Soon, their signature white coats will begin to grow. 

So much time, care and craft goes into each little cheese.
CHEESE NOTES: Sharpham Cremet is our decadent, soft, mould-ripened cheese, made with goats’ milk and enriched with cow’s double cream. It’s tricky to make, and needs careful handling. Cremet’s subtle, fresh flavour develops a rich earthiness with age. Have you tried it?

OUR HOME | There are a few more of you following Sharpham Cheese now so allow us to introduce you to our beautiful corner of South Devon, near Totnes and the River Dart.

🚜 Come with us on a tractor ride around the South Devon Food Hub working farm… home to Sharpham cheese dairy.

☀️ We had the pleasure of welcoming local visitors earlier in the summer. They toured the farm and the facilities, tasted products made on site, including cheese, chocolate, cider, rum, coffee and of course cheese!

🏡 Honestly, is it any wonder we love calling the South Devon Food Hub ‘home’!

It’s one month to go until Hospiscare’s inaugural Dartmoor Beast, a gruelling 20 mile trail run through the heart of the National Park on 27 September.

Sharpham has pledged to raise money for Hospiscare each year as part of it’s 40 Club, so when, TOM VEALE, the son of our social media manager signed up to take part we thought we’d throw our weight behind his fundraising and help him to raise as much as possible for this amazing charity.

Good luck and thanks to Tom for taking on this epic race! It covers some of the toughest terrain in the UK, including the summit of High Willhays – the highest point in southern England. He’ll certainly be earning any donations!

If you’d like to sponsor Tom and help him raise funds for Hospiscare, you’ll find his Just Giving link below.

Relax and watch our Washbourne ewe’s milk cheese take shape.

This is one of the quieter moments in cheesemaking - hand cutting the curd.

Once the milk has set, and the machinery has done a first cut, cheesemaker Nicki uses a curd knife to carefully work around the edges of the tank to divide the curd into even pieces.

The size of those pieces matters. It helps control how much whey is released, which in turn influences the moisture, texture and character of the finished cheese.

It might look simple, but there’s a lot of judgement in those movements. Knowing when the curd is ready, and what the curd should feel like comes from experience, observation and an understanding of the milk.

Washbourne is what’s known as a semi-hard cheese. Our softer cheeses - such at Cremet and Elmhirst- need even more delicate handling, they’re entirely cut by hand with no machinery involved at all. But we’ll show you that another time!

What a lovely Sunday at eat Festivals in Totnes - our home show!

There’s something special about bringing Sharpham Cheese to a food festival right on our doorstep, in the beautiful, quirky and fiercely independent town that’s been part of our story for more than 40 years.

We feel very lucky to have a business with such deep roots in this vibrant corner of South Devon. Making our cheeses here, employing local people and collaborating with producers close by.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello, have a chat and, of course, enjoy some cheese.
