A BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Firstly I must apologise for the lack of interaction on this ‘post page’!!  Really I have no creditable excuse  other than the fact that we have been distracted with various jobs in the dairy other that cheese making and putting posts on the website kept being pushed to the bottom of the pile!!

Anyway… here we are in 2015!!!  The new seasons sheep milk is flowing in thick and fast (and white!!)   so lots of Fosse Way Fleece being made.

As all you fans of ‘Pendragon’ know,  we lost our supply of buffalo milk at the beginning of 2014 and have had great problems finding another source.  We’d had enough stock to keep going until September but now we have no Pendragon at all.

 Good news!  we think we’ve found another supplier in Wales,  they are currently increasing their herd size and fingers crossed there will be milk available in April…Yippee!!   There will of course be a period of maturation so we’re anticipating pendragon being available again around August/September time.

We’ll keep you informed!

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.”
