County Durham has a dairy heritage that includes some of the rarest cheeses in England. Cotherstone Cheese at Quarry House Farm in Teesdale uses an old family recipe handed down through generations. Teesdale Cheesemakers use milk from a five-generation family farm and have built Cheesedale, a cheese-centric cafe with dairy tours, cheesemaking days, and lodges with hot tubs. Parlour Made at Village Farm Dairy near Sedgefield produces artisan cheeses from their own 240-acre farm. Acorn Dairy delivers organic milk, cream, and butter to doorsteps across the North East.
When your local dairy is under 10 miles away and the supermarket average is over 350 miles, the freshness difference is clear. Browse the dairy and egg producers below to find what is near you.
