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 smooth texture and nutty taste of Fosse Way Fleece made it a favourite with our customers immediately, and the crumbly, mellow qualities of Pennard Ridge soon ensured it was on the cheese board of some of the finest restaurants in London. The cheeses can also be found in our range of Celebration Cheese Cakes and Cut Cheese Collections where they represent the taste and quality that is expected from Paxton & Whitfield.”
