Handmade on
the farm, our cheeses are lightly salted with sea salt and full flavoured.
They are made exclusively from the milk produced from our own flock of
milking sheep and small herd of goats.
The ewes
cheeses are normally matured for 2 to 3 months, but some are matured
longer, to develop a stronger flavour and firmer texture. They are made
from unpasteurised milk which allows the subtleties and variations of the
changing seasons and pastures to come through in the flavours and
textures. It is very versatile; a good eating and culinary cheese; in
its more mature form it makes a very good grating or condiment cheese. It
is suitable for vegetarians, as the rennet is of vegetable origin, and the
rind forms naturally after the cheese has been brined in sea salt.
We make 4
different and delicious cheeses.

The Ewes' Milk Cheeses
Campscott is a lightly salted,
full flavoured cheese. The autumn and winter cheeses tend to be creamier
than those made in summer. The finished cheese is a small truckle of about
1kg. We also produce a 2kg truckle. Campscott Summer Speciality
is drier, saltier and stronger in flavour. The finished cheeses are
generally smaller than the Campscotts. The Winter Speciality is
soft and creamy. Campscott Cumin - A traditional blend of
flavours, with organic cumin seed.
The Goats'
