A gold award-winning blue cheese, Blacksticks Original is the original contemporary farmhouse blue cheese. Made with love, using traditional handmade methods, with rich milk produced by the herds of our family and friends all within a 10km radius of our Lancashire family dairy.
It is crafted in open vats, then poured into individual moulds, turned by hand and matured under the watchful eyes of our cheese experts.
Blacksticks Original has proudly won TWO Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards 2023.
Rest Assured:
♻️ 100% recyclable packaging
🚚 Fresh from our Farmhouse Dairy (Maximum Use by Date)
All of our cheeses are handmade in our Farmhouse Dairy in rural Lancashire. The surrounding fields are grazed by the cows who provide our milk, many of whom are looked after by extended family. Our goat's milk comes from just down the road. We believe Lancashire and our surrounding area in particular make such a big difference to the quality of our cheese, alongside, of course the skill and experience of our wonderful team of cheesemakers.
There are two options for delivery via courier, RDS and APC.
Please note whilst RDS is a chilled courier, APC is not. For orders sent via APC we will ensure ice packs are within your parcel(s) to keep your order cool.
Both RDS and APC are sent on next day deliveries however due to conditions out of our control, we cannot guarantee next day delivery.
If we are arranging delivery of your order, please ensure your address and contact details on your order are completely correct, so that the couriers cannot blame the address should they not be able to find you.
