Northamptonshire may not be the first county you associate with cheese, but Hamm Tun Fine Foods in Hannington is changing that perception. Their Cobblers Nibble is a multi-award-winning hard English cheese made entirely by hand from pasteurised milk supplied by a local Northamptonshire Friesian herd. The cheese has a distinctive flavour and crumbly texture that has earned it recognition at the British Cheese Awards and beyond. Their Northamptonshire Blue is another standout for lovers of strong, characterful cheese.
Dodds Manor Farm in Maidwell takes a different approach, producing Skyr yogurt, butter, and cultured cream using milk from their own free-ranging, grass-fed cows. The same farm rears Belted Galloway beef, creating a genuinely integrated farm-to-table operation.
