Country Cheeses

“Somerset Cheese Company make a fantastic range of cheeses which are a really important part of our business. Philip and Anita are really skilled cheesemakers creating wonderful flavours from sheep, goat, cow and buffalo milk. Their cheeses all have different characteristics but what they do have in common is good clean individual flavours that once tasted you will want to return to again and again.”

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.”
