Making great cheese comes naturally to us!

Set in the heart of the magnificent Cumbrian countryside, The Lake District Cheese Company is a farmer-owned co-operative, producing premium cheeses with milk from our local dairy farmers.

Grazing in one of the richest dairy farming areas in Britain, our cows enjoy clean, fresh air and a tranquil environment and this unique landscape is reflected in the taste of our cheeses.

Cheese making is as an art as well as a science and we take great pride in crafting only the finest cheeses. Our highly skilled team of cheese makers at the Lake District Creamery have been rewarded for their dedication with numerous awards, including Best Creamery Cheese at the British Cheese Awards, considered the industry ‘Oscars’.

Our range of cheddars capture the very essence of the Lake District. Our Mature is a classic firm-bodied cheddar with a slightly sharp, savoury taste. The Extra Mature is deliciously rich, with a firm flinty texture while the Cumbrian Smokey is smooth bodied with a buttery character and a natural oak smoked flavour.
