Our Story

The story of Buckinghamshire's first raw milk blue cheese — and the person behind it.

Our story

I've lived in Buckinghamshire for most of my adult life, and for all its charms, it had one gap I kept coming back to: no cheese of its own. So I set out to perfect one.

The Buckinghamshire Cheese Company was founded in Winslow to make raw milk cheese rooted in this county - not a copy of something from elsewhere, but something that belongs here.

Our cheese

Our cheese is Winslow Blue: a raw milk blue, made in small batches in a container dairy on a working farm just outside Winslow. It's matured for a minimum of 60 days, turned and tended by hand throughout.

Raw milk gives it something pasteurised cheese cannot replicate — a depth and liveliness that changes slightly with every batch, reflecting the season and the pasture the milk came from.

Our farm and our milk

The milk comes from a single local farm. We chose them for their approach to farming: sustainable practices, soil health, good biodiversity. Short supply chain. Low food miles. Full traceability from the animal to your cheeseboard.

Our environmental commitment

We work only with producers whose farming practices we believe in: techniques that reduce the environmental impact of dairy, improve soil health, and support biodiversity. Keeping supply chains short isn't just good for flavour. It's the right way to operate.

Our credentials

The Buckinghamshire Cheese Company is a member of the Specialist Cheesemakers Association, the professional body for artisan cheesemakers in the UK. We operate under a full HACCP-based Food Safety Management System, verified by Buckinghamshire Council Environmental Health. We hold a Primary Authority partnership with Cornwall Council for regulatory consistency across our operations.

Full product specifications, allergen declarations and traceability documentation are available on request.
