Production of Rollright at our new home started last week. We have 2 500 litre tipping vats now, enabling us to have greater control over curd quality, evenness and structure. 2/3

We use organic milk produced on diverse, species-rich pasture by Manor Farm’s herd of British Friesian and Dairy Shorthorn cows, right here in Chedworth, Gloucestershire.

Curds and whey. The moment new cheeses are formed. Here we are making Little Rollright. The curds are gently stirred by hand until they reach the correct moisture content and acidity, and are then tipped into moulds to form cheeses.

Once moulded the new cheeses are turned at multiple occasions through the afternoon. This aids drainage and encourages the correct acidity development - both fundamental in achieving the right flavour and texture development in our cheeses.

Earlier this year, Jason our Sales Director helped to match up the amazing milk from Manor Farm in his village (Chedworth in the Cotswolds) with old friend David Jowett of Kingstone Dairy who was looking for a new farm to make his wonderful Rollright cheese.

Ashcombe is the latest cheese from King Stone Dairy in Chedworth, Gloucestershire. It is a French style cow's milk cheese that is similar to Morbier. We have been tasting it throughout its development over the last 10-12 weeks and it's now ready to sell to our wholesale customers.

Meet Ashcombe. Taking inspiration of the French classic, Morbier, Ashcombe is a semi-hard cheese featuring a striking horizontal line of wood ash running through the curd. With rich, milky, hazelnut flavours, it’s very moorish!

Today for the first time we ran both our creameries in tandem with one thousand litres of milk in each being made into cheese. Here, in the Old Parlour creamery we made Chedworth. Raw milk, pint starter, calves rennet, a traditional British territorial.
