Chock-a-block with cheese! After another soft cheese wrapathon, it’s Brie as far as the eye can see at the dairy, with hundreds now wearing their breathable wrapping which allows them to continue to mature, and still more waiting in the fridge for their turn on the wrapping table. This is what a small Devon cheese dairy looks like in the run up to Christmas - our busiest time of the year!

THANKS Sam and Jason for your lovely feedback on our wedding cake service. Sam and Jason’s elegant seven tiered tower of cheese - very similar to the one pictured, our ALL WHITE - went down a treat at their wedding on Saturday and we couldn’t be more delighted for them both. “Just a note to say we were both really impressed with everything you guys did for us. The cheese cake was amazing and the service you have given us has been excellent throughout. So many people loved the cheese; it went down an absolute treat. The Camembert is my favourite. Definitely a go to from now on.” (Sam) …………….. We can provide your wedding cheese in a number of ways. You can use our bespoke service or you can buy one of our off-the-shelf celebration cakes.

🏆 Champion Cheese! Sharpham Rushmore What began as a bit of an accident has ended up as Champion Cheese at the Taste of the West Awards 2023. Rushmore is 40% goat’s milk / 60% cow’s milk. Two years ago our lovely goat farmer put the goat’s milk in the wrong tank on top of the cow’s milk by mistake. Too much milk to waste! We made a mixed milk, semi-hard cheese! And it was lovely. A winning cheese and a very happy accident 😁

Wondering how to put together the perfect cheeseboard for Christmas? Well, Greg has provided his top tips: 🍷How to pair wine and cheese It’s a good rule of thumb to pair cheese and wines with equal intensity. Generally, creamy soft cheeses pair beautifully with sparkling wines. If you’re going for a cheese with a delicate character, avoid overpowering it with a full bodied red. 🧀How much cheese and what cheese If you plan to serve cheese as part of a meal, a typical recommendation is to provide 80g per person. However, over the Christmas period, guests may wish to savour the cheese-board with drinks, so consider increasing the amount to 150g per person. Opting for a variety of textures and characters is a guaranteed way to please everyone. A classic choice includes a blue cheese, a soft cheese, a semi-hard cheese, a cheddar and a goat’s cheese. We’ve gathered up some of the most popular cheeses in the ‘Essential Devon Cheese Board’ - £30. Includes the Devon classics; Sharpham Brie, Sharpham Rustic, Sharpham Ticklemore Goat, Quicke’s Mature Cheddar and Ticklemore Devon Blue. 🎄Top pairings for the Christmas season “I love the delicate floral notes of our Sharpham Rushmore paired with a light-bodied, aromatic white such as a sauvignon blanc. Christmas is also a time for popping open the bubbly, which I would pair with one of my favourites – our brie. A good brie is a Christmas cheeseboard essential. I’d also pair our Sharpham Brie with something with a little acidity like apple or plums.” Final tip! 🔹Don’t forget to take cheese out of the fridge an hour or two before serving to come up to room temperature. You can Brie or website and order the Essential Devon Box at the link in our bio. @rawfoodanddrink #Cheese #Christmas #FoodPR #SharphamCheese #RAWPR #ChristmasCheese #Cheeseboard #Wine #CheesePairing #ChristmasPlanning

NEW | Benjamin Wood Handcrafted Cheeseboards. Launch offer from £25 on our stand at @dartmouthfoodfestival. Introducing @benjamin.woodwork… the creation of our multi-talented Head Cheesemaker, Peter Haworth. Selecting wood from locally managed Devon woodland using only storm felled or carefully managed forestry, Peter crafts the boards from 100% sustainable ash. Peter chooses pieces that otherwise would go to waste to turn them into cheese, charcuterie and serving boards. While there are two basic board shapes, chosen to maximise the usable sections of wood, each cheeseboard is cut and shaped by hand so no two will ever be the same. Available now on our website or from our stand at Dartmouth where you’ll be able to see and feel the tactile beauty and quality of these boards first hand. Be quick though. Limited stock.

Working with local friends at Christmas #3: Fresh Flour Co. Each year we include products in our hampers which we love, which beautifully complement our cheeses and are created by small, artisan makers here in Devon. The PASTA in our Devon Festive Celebration Box is the Casarecce from @fresh_flour . In the words of owner and miller, Andy Gilhespy… “We don’t just buy flour and mix our dough then extrude pasta. Nope, we mill all our flours. So what!! Well, this means we can mill different grains in various ways, meaning we can darken (add flavour) or lighten according to shape, or even type of grain. Our Casarecce, on this occasion is deliberately dark as it can then really kick arse in a flavour fight”. Christmas Eve simple pasta supper anyone… we feel a recipe coming on! 🦅 Early Birds get 10% off our hampers until 31 Oct with the code jingle10.

Perfect with cheese - if you can avoid eating them all on the way to the table! 🦅 Early Birds get 10% off our hampers until 31 Oct with the code jingle10. Link in our bio.
