Profile
A fabulous award-winning range of organic artisan cheeses created in the heart of rural Wigtonshire. The Cairnsmore is their speciality cheese and they specialise in ewe’s milk cheese however the range also includes cow and goat’s milk versions. Some are flavoured: smoked, green peppercorn, and natural. It is a hard pressed cheese and matured for at least 5 months. The flavours are fragrant and refined, the cheeses delicious and versatile. In the summer months they make some fresh ricotta at times from the whey. They also have a lovely onsite shop, EWE TO YOU, with sheep related crafts – sheepskin rugs, fleeces and smaller gift items, plus local foodie items…and of course a wonderful cheese counter with their own cheeses. Check website for seasonal opening hours.

“In 1989 we started milking a small flock of Friesland sheep, and in 1990 started producing our organic “Cairnsmore” ewes cheese. In recent years we have extended our range to include goats’ cheese and organic cows’ cheeses.’ These days they buy in goat and ewe milk but still milk their own herd of cows.
Available from discerning cheese counters so do ask for it.
