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.

We’re in the middle of English Wine Week and we’d just like to remind you of the saying ‘what grows together, goes together!’ Celebrate some of the best English wine around and enjoy a bottle of Sharpham Wine Dart Valley Reserve made by @sandridgebarton Winery & Vineyard, just a mile away from the dairy. Find it in our Dart Valley Cheese & Wine Hamper with Sharpham Brie, Rustic, Ticklemore and crackers. This ripe, fruit-driven wine boasts aromas of white peach and a palate filled with sweet apricots and a hint of spice, complementing a selection of our classic cheeses beautifully. 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

PATTERN | All our cheeses are shaped using molds that leave distinctive surface patterns. While these patterns are hidden beneath the furry, white rinds of our soft cheeses, they remain visible on our harder cheeses, giving each a unique appearance. Take our Ticklemore Goat’s Cheese… its iconic ‘flying saucer’ shape and lined surface come from being hand molded in a flat-bottomed plastic colander, giving it a memorable look but also reflecting the craft and care which goes into every cheese. Next time you’re at your local cheese counter, look out for these subtle patterns.

Fri 13 & Sat 14 | We’re at Buckfast Abbey Food Festival with lots of Devon foodie friends. Come on down! . . . @buckfastabbeyofficial

Asparagus season is just about over. Use those last spears, griddled with courgette strips on a bed of ready-rolled puff pastry and pesto. Grate over some Sharpham Ticklemore - it pairs beautifully with asparagus- and pop in the oven for an earthy, tangy, super-quick lunch or picnic snack. #goatscheese #ticklemore #devoncheese #devon #lunchideas #recipes #devon #eatindevon #cheese

It’s National Cheese Day. Build the perfect summer cheeseboard with us and celebrate cheese in all its delicious variety! Start with the crowd-pleasers.

Here’s our go-to Devon selection: A SOFT - A good sized wedge or whole round of Sharpham Camembert or Brie – creamy, golden and rich… and always the first to disappear! A BLUE - Devon Blue made by @ticklemore_cheese_dairy in Totnes is flinty, fresh and lightly blue. A GOAT - Sharpham Ticklemore Goat - bright, crumbly, citrusy and subtle… and a classic! A HARD - Quicke’s Mature Cheddar. Punchy, perfect with chutney and made by our fellow Devon cheesemakers @quickescheese near Exeter. Feeling bold or feeding a crowd? Add a FLAVOURED cheese like Sharpham Rustic with Chive & Garlic, or Rustic with Dulse & Sea Lettuce, savoury, umami, and packed with flavour. Need more? Add a TALKING POINT such as a sheep’s cheese like Sharpham Washbourne or a second (different) soft such as our Cremet goat with added double cream. Now add the FINAL FLOURISHES!

CHEESEMAKING DAY | This week we hosted the first of our Crowdfunder cheesemaking days with a delightful group who were keen to know more about handcrafting artisan cheese here in south Devon… and to get hands on in the dairy! Head cheesemaker Pete took the group of five through each stage of the process, including the delicate cutting of the curds. All their hard work was rewarded with a big cheese lunch, and they all went home with a hamper of cheese and a signed book by cheese expert and friend of Sharpham @stevecheesewine. At @southdevonfoodhub we’re lucky to be surrounded by fellow artisan makers so the group also enjoyed a tour and talk from Cosmo at @devondistillery on his gin, Dappa and his Devoncello liqueurs. Gerry of @orchard_drinks talked them through cidermaking, and Graham and Ruth introduced them to the art of making fine charcuterie. Quite a day! The group’s own cheese is maturing in our stores and will be sent to them in around four weeks time. It’ll be a lovely reminder of a fascinating day! This was one of our ‘money can’t usually buy’ rewards offered during our recent Crowdfunder. . . #cheesemaking #cheese #cheesemaker #devoncheese #cheesedairy #handmade #artisancheese #southdevon

🌿 Stockist Spotlight | Bayley & Sage stores around London.   🧀 London’s cheese lovers! Find your @sharphamcheese fix on the bountiful cheese counters of @bayleyandsage stores around the capital.   🔦 Yes, this month we’re shining our stockist spotlight away from Devon. Let us introduce you to independent food retailer and valued Sharpham stockist, Bayley & Sage.   🐑 You’ll find Sharpham favourites including light and lemony Ticklemore Goat’s cheese; the rich mixed-milk cheese, Savour, and creamy Washbourne sheep’s milk cheese on their expertly curated cheese counters.   🌱 Founded by Jennie Allen in 1997, Bayley & Sage began with a single store in Wimbledon Village, inspired by Jennie’s passion for fresh, seasonal produce and a desire to offer an alternative to processed food. The name ‘Bayley & Sage’ combines a personal legacy with a nod to culinary heritage, with ‘Sage’ representing both flavour and wisdom.   😊 Today, Bayley & Sage has grown to 13 locations across London, including a beautiful new store in Hampstead. Each store is designed to feel like a neighbourhood hub, offering customers a warm, welcoming and colourful experience that reflects the feel of a village market.   🎁 Bayley & Sage is renowned for its commitment to quality, provenance, and freshness, offering an expertly curated range of products. These include fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, baked goods, wines, and floral arrangements. Their seasonal hampers and gifts are also justly famous.   👏🏼 The Sharpham team has enjoyed many in-store tasting days, most recently at their new Hampstead store, sharing our cheese with engaged and knowledgeable customers.   👉🏼 Follow to find your nearest @bayleyandsage sage store!

With asparagus season in full swing we griddled a beautiful, fresh bunch paired it with grated Washbourne, our award winning sheep’s cheese, and discovered it is a delicious match! Washbourne’s slightly nutty, tangy flavour pairs beautifully with the grassy, earthy notes of asparagus. Try it with a drizzle of good olive oil, a squeeze of lemon or a soft poached egg — simple and full of flavour.

BEST SOFT CHEESE at @devoncountyshow for Sharpham Brie! Thank you to the judges and to co-President Roger Ellis for presenting Greg with the award. We’re delighted!
