Our Crumbly Lancashire Cheese has a fresh, slightly acidic flavour with a smooth and moist texture.
Lancashire Cheese was entirely farmhouse made until 1913 when the first factory cheese was made in a dairy at Chipping.
Crumbly Lancashire Cheese was first made in the early 1950’s at Chipping by Steven’s Grandfather, Timothy Procter. This was due to customers requesting a bright, white, moist, crumbly cheese as an alternative to the more traditional creamy and tasty varieties of Lancashire cheeses available at that time.
