The Art of Cheese Making at Camphill Village Trust

The Art of Cheese Making at Camphill Village Trust

From Field to Fork

At the heart of our Camphill Village Trust creamery lies a passion for creating something truly special: handcrafted organic cheese. This process, which blends art and science, is as much about tradition and skill as it is about the simple, unspoilt beauty of nature.

It all begins in the fields. Our cows graze on lush, untainted pastures, ensuring the milk they produce is of the highest quality. In fact, our unpasteurised milk is award-winning—a testament to the care we put into every step of the process. The richness of this milk forms the foundation for our cheeses, giving them a depth of flavour and quality that’s second to none.

Once the milk arrives at the creamery, the magic begins. Using only a small amount of starter culture, vegetarian rennet, and a pinch of salt, our team of expert cheesemakers—Nigel, Peter, and Richard—transform the milk into a variety of cheeses, each with its own unique character. Affectionately known as our “dream team,” their dedication, skill, and passion ensure that every block, wedge, and wheel is crafted to perfection.

From mild and creamy to bold and tangy, our range has something for every palate. Whether you're assembling a show-stopping cheeseboard or searching for the ideal foodie gift, our cheeses are guaranteed to impress.

And this Christmas, our cheese hampers make gifting effortless and extra special. Packed with award-winning cheeses and complementary treats, they’re perfect for friends, family, or even a little indulgence for yourself. A cheese hamper is more than a gift—it’s an experience, brimming with artisan flavours and handcrafted care.

Every product represents a connection between our fields, our talented creamery team, and your table. It’s a journey that celebrates sustainability, craftsmanship, and the simple pleasure of good food.
