Curworthy Devon Oake Smoked cheese
£7.50
Devon Smoake
Devon Smoake begins life as Curworthy’s award‑winning Devon Oke, a sweet, supple, six‑month‑matured cheese made using a washed‑curd technique that naturally lowers acidity. Once perfectly ripened, the cheese is cut into quarters and cold‑smoked over oak chippings for three hours, giving it a delicate, aromatic smokiness while preserving its creamy texture.
The result is a cheese that’s:
- Sweet and mellow, with a gentle smoky lift
- Smooth and supple in texture
- A softer, sweeter alternative to smoked cheddar
- Pasteurised and non‑vegetarian
If you love cheeses with depth but not sharpness, Devon Smoake stands out.
Pasteurised; not suitable for vegetarians.

For more than 30 years, Curworthy Cheese has been handmade at Stockbeare Farm in the rolling Devon countryside, just under the shadow of Dartmoor. Using milk from a single local herd and traditional farmhouse methods, Curworthy has built a reputation for creating full‑fat, semi‑hard cheeses with a creamy, mellow character that deepens beautifully with age. Their cheeses are matured slowly in temperature‑controlled rooms, turned by hand, and made without colouring or preservatives — just pure Devon milk, salt, and skill.
Perfect Pairings
Devon Smoake’s subtle smokiness makes it incredibly versatile. Try it with:
- Sandridge Barton wines — especially a crisp white or lightly oaked English rosé
- Fig or apple chutney — the sweetness complements the smoke
- Crusty sourdough or seeded crackers
- Smoked or cured meats for a layered charcuterie board
- Cider or amber ale — the malt and orchard notes work beautifully
For something special, melt Devon Smoake into a toasted sandwich, grate it over roasted vegetables, or fold it into a smoky mac and cheese.
Build the Perfect Balanced Cheeseboard
With the addition of Devon Smoake, you can now create a cheeseboard that truly has something for everyone — a showcase of textures, milk types, and flavours that celebrate the best of Devon cheesemaking.
Start with Soft & Creamy
Choose from Sharpham’s award‑winning soft cheeses, each offering a different style of indulgence:
- Sharpham Brie — buttery, mushroomy, and luxuriously creamy
- Sharpham Elmhirst — triple‑cream richness with a delicate bloom
- Sharpham Camembert— soft, oozy, and full of savoury character
Add a Touch of Goat’s Milk
A gentle lift of acidity and freshness balances the richness:
- Sharpham Cremet — silky, decadent, and lightly tangy
- Sharpham Ticklemore — clean, bright, and beautifully mellow with a lemony hint
Bring in a Semi‑Hard Centrepiece
- Sharpham Rustic — creamy, lactic, and lightly crumbly, the perfect contrast to the soft cheeses
Introduce Savouriness with a Hard Cheese
Quicke’s Mature Clothbound Cheddar — deep, savoury and beautifully sharp, adding a hit of umami and heritage to the board
Introduce Depth with Blue
- Ticklemore Dairy Devon Blue — creamy yet bold, with a refined blue tang that never overwhelms
Finish with Smoke & Sweetness
- Curworthy Devon Smoake — the final flourish: mellow, gently smoky, and wonderfully aromatic
Its oak‑smoked sweetness ties the whole board together, adding warmth and complexity without overpowering the other cheeses.
Complete the Experience
Round out your cheeseboard with:
- Sharpham Sourdough crackers — crisp, neutral, and designed to let the cheese shine
- Sharpham chutneys — from spiced apple to tomato & red pepper, adding brightness and sweetness
- Local charcuterie — cured meats and salami that pair beautifully with all the cheese.
The result is a cheeseboard that’s balanced, generous, and unmistakably Devon — perfect for entertaining, gifting, or elevating a cosy night in.
