The family works closely with Garry Gray, a dedicated cheesemaker, highly experienced and skilled in the art of cheesemaking. The original ingredients: unpasteurised milk, starter culture, rennet, salt, and annatto are used. A committed team, work with quality ingredients and carefully monitor timing, temperature, and acidity to create a consistently high-quality product. Expertise is essential to work with constant variations during the seasons which vary the central ingredient, Appleby’s milk. Appleby’s Cheshire goes particularly well with fruit cake, figs, or dates, as the acidity complements the sweetness of the fruit. Appleby’s Cheshire also has excellent cooking properties.

Please note all cheeses are hand-cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can!
