BLACKSTICKS BLUE
Rules are there to be broken - or in this case, sliced, grated or toasted!
Blacksticks is the original contemporary farmhouse blue cheese. It burst onto the scene in 2004 unlike anything else in the blue cheese arena; the product of amazing skill and incomparable cheesemaking passion.
Available in 150g Wedge, Whole Baby Truckle, Whole Cheese, or Mega Melt Slices.
Button Mill
A bright, unbelievably soft little cheese that has a truly unique rind and delicate flavours that make it dangerously moreish. The unique cocktail of cultures results in each cheese behaving and maturing in a truly unique way that just grows more and more delicious with each day.
Available in: 150g Round
Sunday Best
This authentic farmhouse Lancashire cheese is lovingly hand made by our Cheesemakers. It's 50 year old family recipe comes from Jean, a 2nd Generation Cheesemaker here at Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses. Sunday Best takes 48 hours to make, and is then aged for a further 18 months.
Available in: 250g Wedge
Kidderton Ash
Kidderton Ash is a handcrafted goat’s cheese log, rolled in ash prior to maturing.
The ash helps a unique rind develop around the cheese, which gives it a contrasted, speckled appearance and helps contain a constantly developing flavour.
Available in: 150g Log
Stratford Blue
A dreamy blue cheese, smooth in texture and with a distinctive taste.
The blue bite of Stratford Blue develops with warmth, but soon mellows in a sea of creaminess, making this cheese truly unique and unbelievably moreish.
Available in: 150g Wedge, Whole Wheel.
Ravens Oak
A creamy white, soft goat's cheese made with milk from our family herd.
Ravens Oak goat's cheese has a subtle nutty flavour reminiscent of almonds, which develop as the cheese naturally matures.
Available in: 150g Round
Beacon Blue
A silky, smooth and elegantly sweet blue goat's milk cheese.
Beacon Blue was the winner of the Best British Blue at the Virtual Cheese Awards 2020.
Available in: 150g Wedge, Whole Wheel.
Parlick
Our Parlick Sheep's Cheese is named after the Parlick Fell, just 5 miles away from our family farmhouse dairy in Lancashire. Parlick is the perfect ewe's milk alternative to Cow's milk Cheddar.
Naturally nutritious and rich in protein, sheep’s milk contains all 10 essential amino acids, making it a ‘complete’ protein source. Many find it easier to digest than cow’s or goat’s because of its whey protein content. It’s health benefits like this that are contributing to its growing popularity.
Classic Territorial Wedges
Our award winning, classic wedges are all cut from a big, round, whole cheese. Made in the traditional way, rounds (so no edges) allow the cheese to mature evenly, resulting in a fantastic flavour.
Trotter Hill is a rich Lancashire cheese matured for at least 12 months.
Mrs Butler's Farmhouse Creamy Lancashire is a classic cheese that is matured for 3-5 months.
Goosnargh Gold is a classic Double Gloucester, matured for 5 months.
Rothbury Red is an authentic Red Leicester matured for 7 months.
