Artisan cheese makers in Cornwall celebrate the local terroir, utilizing the unique characteristics of the region’s soil, climate, and vegetation to create a genuine sense of Cornish identity.
Scattered throughout the region, here are a few of my favourite artisan producers:
Based in Liskeard, the Cornish Cheese Company is known for its award-winning cheeses, including the Cornish Blue and the Cornish Nettle. They embrace traditional methods and source milk locally.
Situated in the heart of Cornwall, Curds and Croust produces a variety of artisan cheeses, such as the Cornish Kern and the Miss Wenna. They focus on using high-quality milk from local farms.
Located near Bude, Whalesborough Cheese is a family-run artisan cheese producer. They prioritize sustainable and ethical practices, crafting cheeses like the Cornish Jack and the Brie Mevagissey.
This farm near Truro not only produces high-quality meats but also has a cheese-making facility. Their artisan cheeses reflect a commitment to local, sustainable agriculture.
I love sharing a chill supper with my nearest and dearest – local cheese, fresh bread, a fave glass of red – just vibing and celebrating the sheer joy of being.
Ode to the artisan, sculptor of delight,
Cornish hills witness your culinary flight.
As you shape dreams in each artisan wheel,
Cornwall’s cheese-making soul, forever real.
