Meet 5 British Cheesemakers

While continental cheeses are popular amongst British consumers, there are some really high quality artisan British cheese makers whose work is deserving attention and consideration from anyone who wants to truly enjoy the art and flavour of cheese. These five top UK cheese makers handcraft their own cheese in small batches using local ingredients where possible on the farm, with time honoured skills or recipes passed down by previous generations. They all make a wonderful selection of cheese gifts to suit all tastes as they are all unique and distinctive by nature.
Godminster
Based in Somerset, England, Godminster has created a beautiful range of award-winning cheeses, produced in a sustainable way that exemplify the quality that can be produced when there is a clear passion for and commitment to a product.
Godminster has won a whole raft of awards on the regional, national and international stages and their wax-wrapped vintage organic cheddars made with milk from their own farm make an excellent gift for any cheese lover in your life, including yourself. The Godminster cheddar and black truffle signature selection is a particularly fine choice.
