Learn all about The Sharpham Cheese cake and the cheese layers, and how we make and what their flavours are:
Top Tier: SHARPHAM ELMHIRST. Sharpham Elmhirst is made from Jersey Cow’s Milk and triple cream. It creates a luxurious soft mould-ripened cheese with clean and fresh notes on the palate when young, rich, buttery, and gooey when ripe.
Third Tier: SAVOUR Handcrafted in South Devon by us a Sharpham Dairy. Sharpham Savour is based on a young French Savoie-style cheese. It was created to celebrate 50 years since the area was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s made from a mixture of 75% cow’s milk and 25% goats’ milk, which produces a sweet, mellow flavour. The curds are washed before moulding, creating a smooth texture. On maturing when young it has a soft and pliable texture, maturing to almost alpine style with age. Sharpham Savour is a washed curd cheese with a smooth texture. It has a sweet creaminess which develops a slight tang with age.
Second Tier: SHARPHAM TICKLEMORE Sharpham Ticklemore was the brainchild of Robin Condon. Named after the street in Totnes, home of the famous cheese shop. Ticklemore is a semi-hard goat’s cheese handmade from fresh pasteurised goat’s milk. Its distinctive shape comes from being moulded in a colander. This helps it develop a wonderful white bloomy rind with a bright white chalky centre. Sharpham Ticklemore is a semi-hard goat’s cheese with a light, gently lemony flavour, herbaceous notes, a crumbly texture, and a white, bloomy rind.
Base Tier: SHARPHAM BRIE. Sharpham were the first to make a Brie-style cheese in the UK, and Sharpham Brie is made to the same recipe today as when it was first made in 1981. Handmade in Devon using pasteurised cow’s milk, the curds are hand-ladled into large moulds, brined, and then left to mature, creating a white bloomy rind. The beautiful buttercup yellow centre comes from cows grazing on the luscious South Devon pastures. Sharpham Brie is a mould-ripened cheese, firm, rich, and creamy when young, softening with mushroomy notes and a chicory finish with age.
