Did you know we can add a message, logo or names to our handcrafted ash cheeseboards... made by our Head cheesemaker, Peter. We’ve just received some lovely feedback from Kate and Scott who ordered some special boards to give as gifts at their wedding. “We were absolutely over the moon with the personalised cheese boards that Peter created for our wedding. They were stunning - beautifully made, thoughtfully designed, and added such a special touch to our day. The team went above and nothing was too much trouble. “Our family loved them, and they made the perfect keepsake, especially as they were topped with Sharpham Brie too! We can’t thank and recommend these boards and the team at Sharpham Dairy highly enough!“ Visit our website shop to find out more. £25 plain or £30 engraved. Find the link in our bio.

RECIPE! We grated a wedge of Sharpham Rustic Chive & Garlic to experiment with these DELICIOUS and super easy Cheesy Oat and Seed Bars. They are seriously good. Perfect for a mid-morning pick-me-up, a picnic or a tasty nibble at lunchtime. And our flavour-packed Rustic is a perfect addition. ◽️You will need: 100g butter 200g porridge oats 2 carrots, grated 1 tbsp milled flaxseed 1 tbsp chia seeds 150-200g strong cheese, grated. We used our Rustic Chive & Garlic and a little Quickes Cheddar. 3 eggs, beaten. Small bunch of chives, snipped. 50g mixed seeds and extra to sprinkle. We used a mix of pumpkin, sunflower and sesame (and might use more in the mix next time). Pinch of chilli flakes to taste. We’d add more next time! Salt and pepper. ◽️How to make: 🔸Heat oven to 180°. 🔸Melt butter. 🔸Stir all ingredients in one at a time and leave to cool. 🔸Add beaten eggs and stir well. Season generously. 🔸Tip into lined tin approx. 20cm x 20cm. 🔸Press down with the back of a spoon. 🔸Scatter over extra mixed seeds. 🔸Bake for 25-35 mins until golden. 🔸Leave to cool in the tin before cutting into bars. 🔸Keep in an airtight box. We kept them in the fridge but not for long (they disappeared very quickly!) . . #recipe #cheeserecipe #cheesyflapjack #savouryoatbar #devon #sharpham #snackbox #picnicfood #picnicideas

Our own Sharpham Kate, recipe guru, super-keen cook and cat owner has rustled up some cheesy hot cross buns. She’s adapted a Triple Cheese Hot Cross Bun recipe from @bbcfood (there are lots out there) and replaced all the cheese with Rushmore, and added a very finely chopped chilli. The smell, we are reliably informed, is incredible! Rushmore is our half cow and half goat’s milk cheese and brings a cheesy, creamy tang - perfect topped with extra cheese and Sharpham chilli jam.

Curd is the word! If you know your nursery rhymes you’ll have heard of ‘curds and whey’, but what are they and why so important? Curds and whey are the ‘solid’ and ‘liquid’ elements of cheesemaking. When we make cheese our rich, creamy milk undergoes a transformation and thickens to form a delicate curd, which is the starting point for all cheeses. Cutting allows the ‘solid’ curd to separate from the ‘liquid’ whey. But HOW we cut and mould the curd is different for each style of cheese. It’s all about texture! For soft cheeses like our creamy Brie, Elmhirst and Cremet we gently cut the curd with knives by hand into large, wobbly pieces. We then carefully ladle these into cheese moulds. This keeps more moisture in, resulting in a soft, luscious texture. For harder cheeses such as our Rustics, Washbourne and Savour we cut the curd with mechanical knives into much smaller pieces. We then pack and squeeze the curds into colander moulds. This releases much more of the liquid whey, making the cheese firmer and drier. And that’s why ‘curd is the word’! With just six days left of our #CurdIsTheWord Crowdfunder there’s still time to bag a brilliant reward and help us raise the funds to finish our dairy! Link in our bio. Offers close on 6 April. You can read much more about the process of cheesemaking on our website. #cheesemaking #cheesemaker #cheese #britishcheese #brie #cuttingthecurd #curdsandwhey
