Cheese 1
Highmoor
Rose’s grandfather started our dairy in 1950 and it converted to being organic in 2001. They felt it a crying shame that this beautiful organic milk was being hauled away and mixed with the milk of many other farms before it was dispersed into the market. They thought that the animals, and their milk, deserved greater appreciation and so they set about creating Nettlebed Creamery.
Rose founded the business in 2015 and it has since won many awards, including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, and Best Organic Cheese and Best Soft White at the British Cheese Awards.
