To make our delicious cows’ milk cheese, we use the milk produced by the cows on the Organic dairy farm, where we make the cheese. This helps reduce ‘food miles’ and allows full traceability, from milk to cheese.
Ashdown Foresters is an unpressed cheese with a creamy, slightly squidgy texture not dissimilar to a Gouda. It is handcrafted with an attractive basket weave rind and matured for about 3 months.
The whole cheese weighs about 2kg and it is also available as a smoked cheese, naturally smoked over oak chippings to give a smell and taste reminiscent of the mists of Autumn.

New in 2008: Saint Giles made with Organic Cow's milk from the cows on our farm, is a contiental style, semi soft creamy cheese, similar, in essence to the Saint Paulin style cheese found in France. It has a rich, buttery texture, a creamy mild flavour and a stunning edible orange rind which is made from organic carrot.
