please describe how your business evolved?<br />
eight years ago, a dairy and its equipment came up<br />
for sale and we seized the opportunity to create a<br />
complete cheeseboard, from hard to soft, to blue<br />
cheese, made from East Sussex milk. We now produce<br />
1.5 tons of cheese per week, which we supply to<br />
independent hotels, delis and restaurants, along<br />
with our own shop in London’s Borough Market.<br />
What do your customers tell you<br />
they like about your products?<br />
They love our ‘Super Gold’ World Cheese<br />
Award winner ‘<strong>May</strong>field’ which is the only<br />
Emmental style cheese produced in the UK.<br />
‘Lord London’ is a semi-soft bell shaped Silver<br />
awarded cheese and is popular for its natural<br />
creamy texture, with clean citrus undertone.<br />
please tell us about the journey from a<br />
new cheese idea to marketplace?<br />
It can be a very lengthy process. We make a<br />
new cheese, then wait for the maturing process,<br />
which can be anything from 12 weeks to six<br />
months. ‘Lord London’ only took 6-7 months<br />
in total but when a lot of tweaking is required it<br />
can take two years to develop a new cheese.<br />

What is your proudest moment so far?<br />
Whilst on vacation a French cheese maker tasted one<br />
of our cheeses and we were privileged enough to be<br />
asked back the next day to help them develop a new<br />
soft cheese. A dream come true!<br />
