PERFECT PAIRINGS:

A DEVON COLLABORATION:
Working with our Devon friends at Highfield Preserves, we have created a range of unique chutneys, jams, and marmalades that combine elements from other artisan Devon producers to complement our artisan cheese range.
A key ingredient in this chutney is Bays Brewery’s award‑winning Devon Dumpling Ale, a full‑bodied, golden beer brewed just down the road in Paignton. Its rich, malty character adds depth and roundness to the chutney, enhancing the sweetness of the vegetables and giving the finished preserve a warm, savoury backbone. Using a local ale not only enriches the flavour but also celebrates the best of Devon’s food and drink producers — a perfect match for our artisan cheeses.
Highfield’s preserves are a second-generation family-run business that has been producing its delicious preserves since 1984. Based in Willand in Devon, they create small-batch chutneys to ensure flavour and texture are just right. We at Sharpham are so happy to have teamed up with them to create our range of chutneys, marmalades, and jams. The perfect accompaniment for any cheeseboard, picnic, or use in cooking to help elevate a dish, adding that boost of flavour.
