The Cheesemonger’s Notes

Traditional farmhouse cheddar from Northumberland with rich flavour and true territorial character

Doddington North is a handcrafted farmhouse cheddar made at Doddington Farm in the Glendale Valley, Northumberland, where the rivers Glen and Till meet beneath the Cheviot Hills. Produced using milk from the farm’s own herd of Friesian and Ayrshire cross cows, this cheese reflects the landscape, farming, and careful stewardship that define true farmhouse production.

The herd grazes freely on pasture through the warmer months, with winter feeding based on home-grown silage, cereals, and fodder beet — ensuring consistent milk quality throughout the year. This attention to farming directly influences the flavour and character of the cheese.

Matured to allow its flavour to fully develop, Doddington North offers a firm yet creamy texture. The flavour is rich and savoury, with gentle nuttiness, subtle sweetness, and a balanced, lingering finish. It represents a classic territorial cheddar, rooted firmly in its place of origin.

This is traditional British farmhouse cheesemaking — honest, expressive, and deeply satisfying.

Answering your everyday cheese questions

How long will this cheese last?

All cheeses are cut fresh at the counter and dispatched in insulated packaging.

For the best flavour, we recommend enjoying within 5–7 days of delivery. Hard cheeses may last longer if stored correctly.

How should I store this cheese?

Keep refrigerated in its original wrapping or waxed paper. Avoid airtight plastic containers. Always bring to room temperature 30–45 minutes before serving for the best flavour and texture.

Is this cheese suitable for freezing?

We don’t recommend freezing soft or blue cheeses as it can affect texture. Hard cheeses may be frozen for cooking purposes, but flavour is best when enjoyed fresh.

What if my cheese has mould on it?

Mould is a natural part of many artisan cheeses.

If the cheese is meant to have a white rind, blue veining or natural mould, this is completely normal and part of its character.

If you notice surface mould on a hard cheese, it can usually be trimmed away safely — simply cut at least 1cm around and beneath the mould.

If mould appears on a soft cheese that is not intended to have mould, or if you are unsure, please contact us and we will advise.

We only dispatch cheeses in excellent condition, selected at peak maturity.

Is this cheese safe during pregnancy?

Pasteurised cheeses are generally considered safe. If a cheese is unpasteurised, this will be clearly stated in the Key Facts section. If unsure, please consult current NHS guidance

Can I request a specific size?

Weights are approximate to ensure fairness and quality. If you require a specific size for an event, please contact us before ordering.

Can this cheese be included in a hamper or cheeseboard selection?

Yes. Many of our cheeses are available in curated cheeseboards, gift hampers or our Cheesemonger’s Selection.
