We've joined with two experienced cheese
makers and the Hartington Cheese Shop to re-establish the
manufacture of Stilton (and other) cheeses in Derbyshire. Production
started in May 2012 and will initially feature local cheeses, made
in the traditional manner. White Stilton will be the next to be
introduced as soon as we have accreditation, and Blue Stilton (the
King of Cheeses) will be introduced later, as will even more
cheeses.
The British
Cheese Board for information on all kinds of British Cheese.
The Cheese
Web and in particular, the British Cheese Awards, Cheeses on
The Green and the Great British Cheese Festival.
We supply real Cheddar
from the Cheddar Gorge, made in the traditional way from the
best locally sourced materials.
We sell Stilton,
the "King of Cheeses" from our
own creamery in Hartington which came on stream with Stilton
late in 2012.
Beer is also an excellent drink to consume with our cheeses and from Brampton Brewery and Bradfield Brewery, these are perfect examples of locally produced beers.
Gin, whether in original flavours or in the newer styles, are also a great accompaniment to our cheeses. We stock gins from our local Derbyshire Distillery, based in Staveley.
We no longer sell Pete Welbourne's Lincolnshire Plum Bread - a fruit loaf which is perfect with cheese - but you can still make enquiries of him for nearby stockists.
Further links will be added shortly. Please revisit our site.
We are suppliers of Ploughman's Lunches to the Annual CAMRA Chesterfield Beer Festival at the Winding Wheel and to the Annual CAMRA Chesterfield Markets Beer Festival.
