The Hawkstone Abbey Farm is the only one remaining that makes clothbound, unpasteurized farmhouse Cheshire. At Hawkstone Abbey Farm in Shrewesbury (not quite in Cheshire), John Arlott and his wife Lucy have been making Cheshire since the 50's. In fact, their cheesemaking room is still attached to their house. John Arlott believes one of the reasons why Cheshire cheese is so special is due to the rich deposits of salt in the soil on which their Friesian Holstein cross herd grazes. Cheshire has had a reputation for being sharp and acidic, partly to do with the amount of starter used. Appleby’s Cheshire uses less.

Cheshire is one of England’s oldest cheeses; it is even mentioned in the Doomesday Book! In 1939, 400 farmhouses produced approximately 6,000 tons of Cheshire a year. Today, there are only a handful left.

The acidity takes longer to rise resulting in a richer, buttery, more mellow flavor. Appleby’s Cheshire has a sweet, caramelly-ripe butter smell with notes of straw and a bright acidity. Enjoy this special tangy cheese with a Cabernet, Bordeaux or a fine ale.
