Our Pitchfork Cheddar is made only 5 miles away from Cheddar itself, using traditional methods before being cloth-bound with lard. The name 'Pitchfork' originates from the way in which cheddar was historically made, when old farming tools were used to toss the curd whilst mixing in the sale. We still use similar methods today with contemporary additions to this heritage process. Pitchfork is matured with us for an exceptional 10 -12 months, to develop its signature flavour. 

​We are proud that our approach and commitment to producing a raw milk, organic, slow matured Cheddar Cheese is winning global awards and gaining a global reputation and are confident that you will love our Pitchfork Cheddar as much as we do.

Our Gorwydd Caerphilly is a raw milk cheese made with cow’s milk and animal rennet and takes its name from the area in South Wales where this type of cheese was first made.

​Made by us on our farm in South Wales, before our move to Somerset, we work the curds by hand and allow our cheese to mature for longer than most Caerphillys.  This results in a deeper, more sophisticated flavour. It is described by our customers and fellow cheesemongers as “clean tasting with slight citrus notes”. We are proud to keep the Caerphilly cheesemaking tradition alive and to create a cheese that continues to win awards.

'Gorwydd is aged for three months and has a zesty crumbly core and earthy notes underneath its velvety rind.' – Patrick McGuigan, Senior judge at the World Cheese Awards, Telegraph Cheese writer and Delicious Magazine Cheese Guru
