Head Cheesemaker Pete is running the RACE THE LIGHT – 15 miles of shadowy estuarine trails, meandering through the privately owned Flete Estate. There’s a double crossing of the River Erme estuary so it’s a race against the light.. and the tide. So wet feet from the off! All to raise much needed funds for @hospiscaredevon - Sharpham’s chosen charity of the last few years. If you’d like to sponsor Pete and speed him on his way, you’ll find the link in our bio.

So much Sharpham cheese! Patiently waiting to be wrapped and despatched to cheese counters and Christmas cheeseboards around the country, from our little cheese dairy in deepest Devon! . . (Sorry Nicky 😂 the rest of the footage was great)

Sharpham QUINCE JELLY | Brand NEW, utterly delicious and created in collaboration with Monks’ Kitchen at @buckfastabbeyofficial.

CHRISTMAS WRAPPING (Sharpham style)… it’s that wonderful time of year when everything needs to be wrapped! Hundreds and hundreds of cheeses. Today was the turn of the Sharpham Brie squares. Just like cheese making, cheese wrapping is done by hand and takes time (although Nicky, Jane and Brigette make it look easy!) Who thinks we should have a ‘wrap off?!’ First to five maybe! #asmr

✅ We’ve given our Sharpham branded cool bag a glow up! We’ve switched from bulky cotton to a more durable non-woven polypropylene, and it’s now a lovely emerald green to celebrate the new design. It might not sound like this is a change driven by our sustainable goals, but it is. As a B Corp we consider all our packaging and products, and their impact on the planet, really carefully. PP non-woven plastic is a lightweight, durable, and reusable material, and provides really effective insulation - perfect for keeping Sharpham cheese cool… or cans, chocolate, ice cream (all the good stuff 😉) They’re available for £5 from our website shop to add to any order, and we’ll have them at upcoming markets and events to carry your cheese home. #peopleplanetprofit #bcorp #sustainability #cheese #devon

It’s British Pudding Day… not that we need an excuse to celebrate the pud! The ultimate comfort food, this cheesy, savoury Bread & Butter Pudding is a great way to elevate humble ingredients and make good use of leftovers – stale bread works wonders, and you can use any cheese you like, or mix it up! Feel free to throw in any leftover roasted carrots, parsnips or meat if you wish. It’s a fine accompaniment to a roast dinner – or a delicious midweek dish on its own.

So, we asked ChatGPT to find traditional soups topped with cheese (like French onion)… and it suggested American Beer Cheese Soup. It also offered to Sharpham-ise it! Should we trust ChatGPT to write a recipe? We had to find out! Using our Rustic with Smoked Chilli and local Salcombe ale, this Midwestern favourite was given a spicy Devon twist. But what was the verdict? Well it turned out cheesy and full of flavour, a solid 7/10. Very different to our usual veg-packed soup choices… although it was a little on the bitter side, so we’d maybe go for a lighter beer next time! The main takeaway from this experiment? Cheesy croutons are a must! On anything 😂 Have you tasted the original Beer Cheese Soup? Did you like it? 🧑🏼‍🍳 Devon cooks and chefs! Save us from ChatGPT and send us your cheesy soup recipes! *Not shown on the reel… salt, pepper, more cheese!

We’re proud to announce that Sharpham Dairy has been crowned the South West Regional Winner at the Great British Food Awards 2025. The Judges said: “Nestled in the picturesque South Devon countryside, Sharpham has been a beacon of excellence in the world of artisan cheesemaking. “Beyond their award-winning products, Sharpham’s dedication to sustainability is evident through their B Corp certification, underscoring their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. “Sharpham’s approach marries tradition with innovation, producing cheeses that reflect the rich terroir of Devon. “Their accolades, sustainable practices, and community engagement make them a shining example of the South West’s culinary prowess.” . .

🏆 Delighted to be awarded GOLD in the Great British Food Awards 2025 for our ‘Sharpham Ploughmans Chutney with Bays Devon Dumpling Ale’. “Very decent and conventional chutney but with some depth and pleasant heat, and a definite soft and warm flavour of ale. Really excellent product.” Judge - William Sitwell . . . #GreatBritishFoodAwards2025 #GBFA2025 #GreatBritishFoodandDrink @baysbrewery #BritishFoodandDrink @gbf_mag
