The Cheese Shed started in 2006 and we quickly became aware of the Somerset Cheese Company. Their wonderful Fosseway Fleece ewes’ milk cheese became a staple of ours and has been ever since: we often recommend it and our customers are never disappointed! Over time we’ve got to know their other cheeses and now stock most of them. In every case the cheeses are distinctive and really high quality.

Pennard Vale deserves its awards, the buffalo milk cheeses are quite simply unique and even their cheddar, Six Spires, manages to stick out from the crowd. At The Cheese Shed we aim to support the best of small-scale Westcountry artisan cheese making, where quality and character come first: Anita & Phil’s dairy is the perfect example of the sort of thing we’re looking for.”

 

The cheeses from Somerset Cheese Company are firm favourites with our customers, the different varieties of milk used to make the cheeses is a big factor in this with each type having its own distinctive flavour.  My personal favourite is Rainbows Gold with its rich curd and sticky pungent rind, it is quite different from any other local cheese and a great addition to the range!

As well as consistently making fantastic tasting cheese, Phillip and Anita have been lovely people to work with, over the years they have given a novice deli owner invaluable help with great advice based on their wealth of knowledge and lots of support with numerous tasting events both in the deli and out at festivals.
