They are a small, family-run farm and cheese company started by Humphrey Errington in the early 1980's. The Family originally moved from Dumfriesshire to Lanarkshire in 1981, running as a mixed farming enterprise of beef cattle and sheep. Humphrey Errington started looking at ways of diversifying and became interested in sheep milking and ewes milk cheese because of the ancient tradition of this activity in the Upper Clyde area, and because it offered the chance to add value to a farm product and be free of dependence on government subsidies. Cheese making began in 1983 on a small scale and now the farming enterprise is geared to the need for ewes' milk in order to keep up with the growing demand for the cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir farm is home to their own flock of 450-500 dairy sheep, predominantly Lacaune with some Friesan.

The farm is just under 300 acres of mixed grazing and arable land on which they try to grow as much as possible themselves, making around 60 acres of barley and 100 acres of silage and hay. Due to the altitude and climate the growing season is fairly short compared with some other areas of the UK though so they concentrate on growing high quality silage and hay to provide the basis of the ewes' diet. In 2012 they installed two 20KW wind turbines to take advantage of the fact that the farm lies in the windiest corner of the windiest country in Europe and to minimise their carbon footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":49298271764802,"sku":"1077","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":49298271797570,"sku":"1077","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750g","offer_id":49298271830338,"sku":"1077","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":49298271863106,"sku":"1077","price":66.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/LarnarkBlue.jpg?v=1770048678"},{"product_id":"mini-maida-vale","title":"Mini Maida Vale","description":"\u003ch3\u003eTaste this washed-rind cheese\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMini Maida Vale is a semi-soft, washed rind cheese which is made from Channel Island cows' milk and washed with Soundwave IPA from Siren Craft Brewery, who are situated just a few miles from the dairy.

The word Yarg is simply their surname 'Gray' spelt backwards! The inspiration for this unique cheese came from a 17th century recipe for nettle wrapped cheese found in their attic. In 1984 they sold the recipe to Michael and Margaret Horrell who farmed near Bodmin. The business steadily grew and in 1995 the Horrell family met with the Mead family who were farming in West Cornwall and interested in farm diversification. Catherine Mead worked alongside them to develop the business and in 2006 all production moved entirely to the Mead family farm. Owned by Catherine Mead, Lynher Dairies is now processing 2,000,000 litres of milk a year and making just over 220 tonnes of cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornish Yarg is very unique due to the handpicked nettle leaves which coat the rind. Three tonnes of nettle leaves are picked during May and June by a team of 50 hand pickers. Cheeses which are made at the time of picking are then wrapped with fresh leaves and the rest of the leaves are then frozen in bundles until they are ready to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cheese making process is done by hand using the farm's milk and grass rich milk from carefully selected local Cornish farms. After the milk is pasteurised, a culture is added for ripening and rennet to help the curd set. Once set it is cut and stirred to separate the curd from the whey until each curd piece is as small as a grain of rice, this increases acidity and fermentation. The curd is then milled, blocked and hand packed into moulds, after which the cheese is pressed and immersed in brine overnight. After drying, the nettle leaves are painted on by hand in a concentric circle pattern. Yarg takes about 4-5 weeks to mature, by which time a beautiful white bloom decorates the nettles from naturally occurring moulds attracted to the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the cheese matures, it develops a delicate, mushroomy taste and a bloomy white appearance. Six weeks from field to finish, Yarg is fresh and creamy with an irresistible crumble in the core. The semi-hard rind is completely edible and adds an earthy, mushroomy flavour to the cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwarded Silver at British Cheese Awards 2024.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwarded Gold at The World Cheese Awards 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA consistent medal-winning cheese for many years, also being awarded two gold medals at the British Cheese Awards 2018.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":55121811308929,"sku":"133","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":49298302566722,"sku":"133","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750g","offer_id":49298302599490,"sku":"133","price":28.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":49298302632258,"sku":"133","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/CornishYarg.jpg?v=1761214297"},{"product_id":"golden-cross","title":"Golden Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden Cross is made by Kevin \u0026amp; Alison Blunt of Golden Cross cheese in East Sussex.

In the UK, with a couple of notable exceptions like Cheddar or Stilton, cheeses tend to be made by a single farm, dairy or family. This means that when those makers no longer want to continue, for example they would like to retire, we face the very real possibility of losing that cheese for forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eBarkham Blue has been produced by the Rose family in Berkshire for over 20 years, winning many awards for this unique ammonite shaped blue cheese.

However, we are absolutely thrilled that rather than lose this cheese to the midst of time, Barkham Blue will be returning to our counters! Cheesemaking must be in the blood for this family, as Sandy Rose’s cousin is none other that Anne Wigmore of Village Maid Cheese.

In 1984 they sold the recipe to Michael and Margaret Horrell who farmed near Bodmin. The business steadily grew and in 1995 the Horrell family met with the Mead family who were farming in West Cornwall and interested in farm diversification. Catherine Mead worked alongside them to develop the business and in 2006 all production moved entirely to the Mead family farm.
