Forget jam and cream for a minute… Sharpham Brie + Smoky Red Pepper and Tomato Relish on a warm, homemade cheese scone is the most delicious twist on a Devon’s classic. . . #creamtea #cheesetea #devon

Hello June… and Happy World Milk Day! Today we’re celebrating the rich, creamy milk of our own Jersey herd. Known for its exceptional quality and flavour, Jersey is the milk at the heart of our 100% cows’ milk Brie, Elmhirst, Camembert and the Rustics… and our mixed milk Rushmore and Savour. 🐄 Naturally richer: Jersey milk contains higher levels of butterfat, typically 4.8% to 5.5%, compared to the average 3.5% found in many other milks. This gives it a rich, creamy texture and exceptional flavour. 🧀 Better for cheesemaking: The higher protein content of Jersey milk, averaging around 3.8%, helps create excellent cheese and contributes to the distinctive character and texture of Sharpham cheeses. 🌼 Golden colour: Jersey milk has a naturally more golden colour thanks to its higher beta-carotene content, a pigment found in fresh grass and forage. From our cows to your cheeseboard, it all starts with our wonderful Jerseys. #WorldMilkDay #SharphamCheese #JerseyCows

It’s always a pleasure to step out of our corner of Devon and catch up with fellow cheesemakers from across the country. Last week, Greg and Nicky made the trip to Melton Mowbray for the Artisan Cheese Awards 2026, where ELMHIRST was in the running for a top award. We’re delighted to share that our decadent triple cream cheese was named one of the final three in the Soft Cheese category. While we didn’t take home the top prize this time, we’re incredibly proud to be recognised among the top three soft cheeses in the UK. The Artisan Cheese Awards champion artisan cheesemakers across the UK and Ireland, and this year attracted a record-breaking 644 entries from more than 100 cheesemakers. 🚙 And yes… Devon to Melton Mowbray is a very long drive! 👉🏼 Elmhirst Tasting Notes: Named after the owners of the Dartington Estate with family ties to the original Sharpham cheesemaker, Maurice Ash, Elmhirst is pure dairy opulence. Similar to a Vignotte, double cream is added to our Jersey milk, resulting in mould-ripened triple cream cheese that is rich and mousse-like when young (2-3 weeks old) and develops into a full-bodied, decadent, and gooey experience when mature (4-6 weeks). #softcheese #devoncheese #artisancheeseawards

🐐 When we say goat’s cheese on salad it’s got to be Ticklemore. Mildly lemony, a little bit earthy, fresh and zingy… we were bowled over by just how good Ticklemore pairs with smoked salmon and avocado! We added melon, tomato and cucumber, a sprinkling of toasted seeds, a twist of black pepper, a tiny drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice. The result was a bowl that was fresh, bright and seriously full of flavour. No recipe… just a fridge raid salad bowl with added Ticklemore. It’s the ideal cheese to add to any sunny lunch outdoors! Save and give it a try! . #cheese #goatscheese #goatscheesesalad

🍃 A pesto, but not as you know it… Sharpham Rushmore Pesto is rich, nutty, and deeply savoury. Made with our mixed milk Jersey cow and goat’s milk cheese for a subtle tang and umami depth. Blitzed with fresh basil, garlic, nuts, olive oil, and lemon, it’s a beautiful, vibrant green and packed with flavour, perfect for pasta or dolloped on simple sunny dishes like griddled courgette and asparagus. ➡️ Ingredients: • 50g basil (It’s Wild Garlic season right now so you could go foraging and swap) • 40g Sharpham Rushmore, grated • 30g pine nuts or walnuts • 1 garlic clove • ½ lemon, juiced • 75ml extra virgin olive oil • Salt & pepper ➡️ Method: Toast nuts, then blitz with basil, garlic, and cheese. Add lemon juice and slowly stream in olive oil until thick and spoonable, but not too smooth. Season to taste and store in the fridge (up to 5 days). 🔗 For the full recipe visit the Sharpham website at sharphamcheese.co.uk. Find the link in our bio.

Ah the dream team at @tobygardenfest. We had a super morning before the rain set in, but ‘hats off’ to the hardy garden and food lovers who braved the elements to get their Sharpham cheese fix.

❓What if those ‘sad’ bits of cheese in your fridge are actually the most underrated ingredients you’ve got? It might look too tired for the cheeseboard… but trust us, if that wedge or wheel is Sharpham then it’s still packed with flavour. ➡️ Here are 10 ways to give that neglected cheese a delicious second life! 👏🏼Fold into cheese scones or savoury flapjacks. 👏🏼Melt into a cheese toastie with caramelised onions. 👏🏼Bake into a brie and herb frittata. 👏🏼Stir into mashed potatoes for instant luxury. 👏🏼Add to quiches or tarts. 👏🏼Crumble into pasta with lemon and olive oil. 👏🏼Stuff a mushroom! 👏🏼Mix into salads for a tangy kick. 👏🏼Melt it into a risotto. 👏🏼Add to stock for savoury richness.   It’s ‘Stop Food Waste Day’ today and here are just two facts which stopped us in our tracks.   ⁉️ 33% of ALL food produced globally is lost or wasted every year. ⁉️ 45% of root crops, fruit and vegetables produced globally are lost or wasted per year. SO EAT UP! Yes even the rinds, you rind-refuseniks (they are edible and delicious). Save for later of share with a cheese chucker! . . #stopfoodwaste #stopfoodwasteday #devon #cheese

🌍 EARTH DAY | This Earth Day, we’re celebrating our South Devon landscape and community. At Sharpham Dairy, sustainability isn’t a trend - it’s a commitment matured into every cheese, from our Jersey herd grazing the lush Devon pastures and nurturing soil health, to our team busily crafting cheese with care and purpose, to the farmers and fellow artisans we’re delighted to collaborate with. As a proud B Corp, we’re part of a global (and local!) community working to balance people, planet, and profit - because great food should never come at the expense our environment. Today (and every day), we celebrate the farmers, makers, and ecosystems that make what we do possible. #EarthDay #BCorp #SustainableFarming #SoilToCheese #ConsciousFood SharphamDairy
