Lancashire is one of the great cheese counties of England. Mrs Kirkhams in Goosnargh produces the world last farm-made raw milk Lancashire cheese, using milk from their own closed herd and a recipe passed down from Ruth Kirkham in 1978. The cheese is stocked by Harrods, Neal Yard Dairy, and Waitrose. Dewlay in Garstang was made famous by Jamie Oliver. Leagram Organic Dairy in Chipping is where Lancashire cheese was first made commercially. Grandma Singletons produces Blacksticks Blue, Kidderton Ash goat cheese, and Beacon Fell Lancashire PDO. Butlers has been making cheese since the 1930s. Mrs Dowsons turned to ice cream after Foot and Mouth and is now one of Lancashire best-loved brands.
When your local cheesemaker is under 10 miles away and the supermarket average for dairy is over 350 miles, the quality difference is clear. Browse the dairy and egg producers below to find what is near you.
