Lancashire cheese
Lancashire is in the North West region of England.
The lush green pasturelands are still dotted with traditional stone built farms, a selection of which keeps the Lancashire cheese-making tradition alive today.
The majority of the remaining farms produce the high quality Lancashire milk that is used in the cheeses production.

This milk has helped farmers make Lancashire cheese for centuries, being used in recipes passed down through generation after generation of skilled cheese makers who have upheld the long lasting traditions of its history to this day.
Lancashire cheeses differ greatly in character, ranging from quite firm in texture to very crumbly and from strong, sharp tastes to soft and creamy flavours.
This wide spectrum of qualities makes Lancashire cheeses extremely versatile.
