Denhay Farm is based in West Dorset in the mild climate of the Marshwood Vale, three miles from the sea immediately inland from Lyme Bay. Ranging from 200 ft to 750 ft above sea level, their farm has an average rainfall of 36 inches and soil that is heavy clay. These are ideal grass growing conditions. They also grow maize, a high-energy cow food, for feeding to their herds in the winter when the cows are housed. The muck from the cows is returned to the land for the grass and maize to grow - farmers don't like waste!
There are five herds of cows and they use only their milk to make their West Country Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese. Denahy are passionate about the quality and consistency of thier products and this quality has been recognised by all the UK's top food awards
A testimate to traditional English cheddar making. A sharp cheese made at Denhays factory in Cheshire to a traditional method.
