Appleby's Cheshire Cheese

This traditional Cheshire cheese is handcrafted using open vats, raw milk, and calico cloths for a crumbly texture and bright, citrusy tang – a rare British classic that’s a lovely addition to the festive cheeseboard. Appleby’s Cheshire is made with natural rennet and time-honoured methods.

Produced by the Appleby family on their Shropshire farm, this award-winning cheese is one of the few remaining handmade Cheshire cheeses in the UK. Using unpasteurised milk, traditional open vat curdling and calico binding, the cheese develops a clean, zesty flavour with a crumbly yet moist texture, perfect for cutting through rich Christmas fare.

Its tangy sharpness and light, refreshing finish make it ideal for cutting through rich festive dishes or enjoying as part of a classic Christmas cheeseboard. A proud example of heritage British cheesemaking.
