Otherwise known as Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses. You'll find all you need (as long as it's cheese) right here. We've got total classics, mouldy masterpieces and everything between, all available from a cheeseboard for one to the stock to supply the nation's supermarkets.
Let’s face it; everyday fridge cheese is boring. 9 out of 10 of us have cheese in our fridge, but more than half of that cheese is nothing more exciting than cheddar. Enter, Blacksticks. We’re on a mission to brighten things up, one fridge at a time.
Why should it be that great cheese is reserved for the Christmas Cheeseboard? Blacksticks breaks away from these rules, shaking off the shackles and setting cheese free - because rules are meant to be sliced, grated, and toasted!

Our Promise To You
A quirky mix of innovation, combined with good old fashioned agricultural know-how. That's how we balance sustainability and unbelievably delicious cheese, while making sure the business side of things runs as smooth as our Brie - like making sure your cheese arrives right on time.
Of course we have a few machines to help us out, but fundamentally our cheese (hard, blue and soft) is made in our farmhouse dairy in rural Lancashire by our team of amazing cheesemakers.
The majority of the milk we use comes from the friendly cows who surround the dairy, much of it owned by extended family. There's just a couple of miles between the dairy and our cheese store - from here, our cheese is distributed around the country!
Our Master Grader, Bill, ensures all of our cheeses are perfectly matured when they leave us. When you buy direct, it comes straight from our store at the perfect time in its life, with maximum shelf life for you!
With the majority of cheese lovers planning to indulge in at least one cheeseboard this Christmas, our latest research shows that we will spend, on average, £22 on our Christmas cheese, with two-thirds of people (66%) spending up to £50.
