Sharpham Dairy Rustic

First made in the early 1990’s at Ticklemore dairy, Rustic production moved to the new Sharpham Dairy in 2003 and has become one of the most popular cheeses in the region. Crumbly texture, golden colour and a delicate, slightly citrus flavour, Sharpham Rustic is irresistible when served with oatcakes and a sweet chutney along with a glass (or two) of crisp white wine (we choose Sharpham Estate Selection).

Cheese Making

After hand moulding into basket moulds, the cheese is drained for 48 hours before being dry salted by hand. As the coat of the cheese grows, it is rubbed by hand to form the thin, natural rind and the cheeses are turned weekly.
