🥳 eat Totnes | Sunday 31st August. We’re delighted to be heading to this fabulous eat: Festival this weekend - on our home patch! Greg and Kate hope to see lots of familiar faces! They’ll be sharing our cheese and chutneys from 10am until 4pm, alongside 85 fellow artisan food and drink producers. It’s the biggest eat Totnes yet!

🧀 Cheese, fire, and fresh air! Kate took her Bank Holiday BBQ to the next level while camping this weekend. 🔥 Armed with one of our Sharpham BBQ hampers, she melted a whole oozy Camembert over the flames, and yes, it tasted as good as it looked served with roasted potatoes and focaccia to dip. ☀️ The sun might seem like a distant memory, but it’ll be back! ➡️ Our BBQ hamper is available until the end of August and includes a bottle of @sandfordorchards Perry, @westcountryolives, a wedge of Rustic with Smoked Chilli, a plain Rustic truckle and two jars of our chutney. All for £40 - which is less than you’d pay individually.

🌱 RECIPE | Sharpham Rushmore Pesto Try this rich, tangy pesto made with our mixed milk Rushmore cheese. It’s bold, nutty, and vibrant… perfect for pasta or grilled summer veg. 👉🏼 Ingredients… 50g Basil leaves. 40g Sharpham Rushmore, grated. 30g pine nuts (or walnuts for a more earthy flavour). 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped. Juice of 1/2 a lemon. 75ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil (plus more if needed). Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. 👉🏼 Method… Lightly toast the pine nuts or walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool.
 In a food processor or blender, combine the basil, toasted nuts, garlic, and grated Sharpham Rushmore cheese. Blitz briefly to break everything down.
 Add the lemon juice and begin adding in the olive oil while blending until the mixture is thick and spoonable, but not too smooth.
 Add salt and black pepper. Remember, Sharpham Rushmore has a salty, tangy profile, so taste before adding too much salt.
 Use immediately, or transfer to a clean jar and top with a thin layer of olive oil to preserve freshness. Store in the fridge for up to five days.

Easy Bank Holiday Brunch, the Sharpham way… Toasted sourdough loaded with smashed avo, crispy bacon, oozy Sharpham Brie, a pinch of chilli and a drizzle of local honey. Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy – it’s got it all. Happy sunny Bank Holiday! It’s the last one until Christmas 😉

We’re so proud that South Devon Food Hub has been our home for a year! And what a year it’s been! This growing community of artisan producers has been brought together and nurtured by brilliant owners and farmers, Ian and Julie Dennis. Yesterday they treated @southdevonfoodhub tenants to a summer BBQ like no other… a tractor ride up to the farm’s highest hill, incredible views, juicy Angus beef burgers, Surfing Cow ice cream, and an insight into the farm, the cows and environmental initiatives. A big THANK YOU to Ian, Julie and the whole family for the warm welcome (and top-notch grilling and tractor driving!). . . #devonviews #southdevon #devonfarming #devon #southdevonfoodhub @surfingcowgelato @barbersbeantobar2020 @foodincommunity @orchard_drinks @katefooddrink @parsons.nicky @andreaveale1

Our Sharpham ‘Ploughmans Chutney with Bays Devon Dumpling Ale’ is through to the finals of the Great British Food Awards 2025 by @gbf_mag. There is more rigorous testing to go before the judges decide who takes home the top spot. Fingers crossed for a win! Winners will be announced in October.

⭐️ Some news from July! We’re delighted that Washbourne, Sharpham’s only sheep’s milk cheese, was awarded a ⭐️ star by @guildoffinefood in the 2025 Great Taste Awards. If you’re unfamiliar with Washbourne, it’s an unpressed washed curd cheese. It has a subtle, nutty flavour that develops with age and a pliable and smooth texture, achieved by washing the curds. Once moulded we bathe it brine, turn and mature it until it’s ready to head out to cheese counters. A great alternative to manchego in Mediterranean style dishes or simply enjoy Washbourne on its own with a little quince jelly. The nuttiness works really well with a livelier white wine. We use the excellent ewes’ milk from East Devon sheep farmers, Tom and Helen Garland, to make Washbourne. Give it a try on your next cheeseboard!

STOCKIST SPOTLIGHT| L’affinage du Fromage Let us introduce you to one of our favourite cheese shops and Sharpham stockists, L’affinage du Fromage, in Bristol.

🌶️ Getting our chilli on at South Devon Chilli Farm. Last week we were invited to explore this unique chilli growing farm not far from our cheese dairy, to celebrate the launch of their new Manzanilla Tropical Chilli Jam. @southdevonchillifarm supplies the smoked chillies for our new Rustic with Smoked Chilli, so it was fascinating to see where our chilli cheese has its roots (watch this space for an upcoming giveaway!) Amrit and Jenny, owners of South Devon Chilli Farm, and their small team, specialise in growing a wide range of different chilli types. They plant, propagate, grow and harvest over 100 varieties. You can buy seeds, chilli plants and they also make some of the most delicious chutneys and sauces around. And they have an RHS Chelsea Gold Medal to boot! Their approach is to work in harmony with the natural environment which means no use of pesticides, they use 100% renewable energy thanks to solar panels, and more. Check out their website for a full run down of their impressive sustainable ethos. Amrit showed a group of chilli lovers around the fascinating research tunnel; the growing tunnels which range across scenic Devon slopes, and the surprisingly bijou kitchen where their chef creates all their chilli-based products… and we arrived back at the shop hungry for snacks… mmm our rich and creamy Elmhirst paired with the new Manzanilla Tropical Chilli Jam hit the spot. What a combo! The new Tropical Chilli Jam has the bright tang of pineapple, a hint of lemongrass, a zing of ginger and the heat of Devon chillies. We were really wowed by the flavours, which cut through the richness of the cheese a treat. Thanks for the tour and for sharing your passion for chillies Amrit!

Have you heard about the new kid on the Sharpham block? It’s a bold twist on a Devon classic and we hope you love it as much as we do! It’s flying out of the dairy, so you’ll soon see it popping up on a cheese counter near you. So what’s it all about? Sharpham Smoked Chilli Rustic is our classic semi-hard Rustic - creamy, lactic, and rich - taken to new heights with a warming blend of smoked chillies. We fold in flakes of fruity Ancho and smoky Chipotle, along with a spicy Numex mix from South Devon Chilli Farm, chosen for their unique qualities: deep, smoky heat rather than a fiery burn. The result is a cheese that’s complex, gently spicy, and beautifully balanced. Speckled throughout with ruby red chilli flakes, this is a cheese that delivers subtle warmth and a lingering finish, never overpowering, always moreish. Perfect as a tasty talking point on your summer cheeseboard, melted into chilli-stuffed quesadillas, slicing into burgers, or served with a glass of dark beer and a hunk of crusty bread. Food writer @finneyclare chose a Mexican beer to pair it with when she reviewed it (she loved it by the way 😊). Check out her reel to find out what she said.

Last week we hosted another of our ‘money can’t usually buy’ Crowdfunder rewards… A ‘Cheesy Tour of London’ with author and cheese expert, Steve Parker. Steve guided a group of cheese lovers around some of the best cheesemongers in London, with an opportunity to sample and compare many of the most notable and delicious cheese made in Britain today. Greg, and Head Cheesemaker Pete, joined them on the tour to meet the affineurs, getting a behind the scenes insight into the art of aging and maturing of cheese. It was a fascinating day filled with cheesy information, history and facts, with plenty of tasting en route, lunch and cheesy treats to take home. Thanks to the fabulous @stevecheesewine for offering his time and expertise to support Sharpham, and to everyone who bought the Crowdfunder reward and came along. . . #curdistheword #cheesetour #londoncheesemongers

We’re shining a spotlight on Savour today as it’s such a beautiful day down here in our South Devon home. Couldn’t you just eat a hunk of Savour? It’s a creamy, washed rind, mixed-milk cheese, made with 3/4 cow and 1/4 goat’s milk, and based on a young French Savoie-style cheese. Combining the two milks produces a sweet, mellow flavour with a slight tang. Washing the curds produces a smooth and supple texture. Savour was launched in 2010 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, now called the South Devon National Landscape. We’re lucky to have this area right on our doorstep! It’s one of 46 protected landscapes in the UK, recognised for its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, secret estuaries, patchwork countryside and historic towns and villages. Have you been to #SouthDevon? . . Follow @southdevonnl

Creamy, dreamy, gooey soft cheese and strawberries anyone? ⁣ To celebrate Wimbledon, we served up a love-match of our rich, triple cream Elmhirst and sweet, juicy strawberries - a perfect pairing on centre court.⁣.. and down here in our Devon dairy. ⁣ And yes, that’s our very own Henman Hill in the background… not much tennis action up there, but the view? Unbeatable. ………………………………………………………………………. Elmhirst is a multi award winning mould ripened soft cheese, clean and fresh when young and rich and gooey when ripe. It’s pure dairy opulence. Like a Normandy Vignotte, double cream is added to rich Jersey milk to create a cheese which is unusual in the UK.

We’ll be there! Greendale Farm Shop’s seasonal Tasting Evenings are a fantastic celebration of local food and drink and you’re all invited. Taste our cheeses, alongside some amazing, local artisan products and meet wonderful producers. Join us at @greendalefarmshop to celebrate summer on Thursday 3rd July from 5pm - 8pm.

If you’re visiting Sandridge Barton Winery in Stoke Gabriel soon, then a top pairing tip from winemaker Tom… try a glass of ‘Billy’ one of their new ‘Don’t Feed The Ponies’ range, alongside our Cremet or Elmhirst. ‘Billy’ is a red with a nice tart red cherry / cranberry acidity that cuts through and complements both of these rich, creamy mould ripened cheeses. . . #englishwineweek2025 #englishwine #cheesesndwine #cheeseandwinepairing
