FARMHOUSE CHEESE, MADE BY HAND
Our Scottish farmhouse cheese has been made by hand on our family farm since 1985. We specialise in ewe and goat dairy, crafting cheeses with a true sense of place—including Lanark Blue, Corra Linn, and Blackmount.
Steeped in tradition, our award-winning cheeses are deeply tied to the Upper Clyde Valley, reflecting the landscape, the seasons, and the careful craft behind every batch.

Description:
Lanark Blue is a distinctive blue cheese made from the milk of our Lacaune ewes. It is a semi-soft cheese with a beautiful, creamy texture and characteristic blue veins that provide an earthy, tangy flavour. The cheese has a natural richness from the ewes' milk, with an added complexity from the blue mould, which develops as the cheese ages. The flavour is bold, yet smooth, with a slight sweetness that balances the sharp tang of the blue.
How it’s made:
Lanark Blue is made by hand using traditional farmhouse cheesemaking methods. The milk is sourced exclusively from our own flock of ewes, which graze on lush, seasonal grass. The milk is gently heated, and a blue mould culture introduced. Vegetarian Rennet is added to set the milk, after the curds form, they are cut and stirred to release the whey. The cheese is then placed in moulds, salted, and aged for several weeks to develop its unique flavour and texture. During the ageing process, the cheese is pierced to allow the blue mould to grow, creating the characteristic blue veining.
