CHAMPIONING REAL CHEESE,
FROM THE SOIL UP
We’re here to celebrate artisan cheesemakers, support independent cheesemongers and get more people buying the good stuff - to protect and promote real British cheese.
The UK is home to over 1,000 artisan cheeses, made with milk from farmers working in harmony with nature.
From hefty truckles and big bold blues, through to delicate mould-ripened beauties in all shapes and sizes, Britain has world class cheese in every corner of the countryside.
We’ve got small cheesemakers and local cheesemongers to thank for this, but they need our support.

It’s time to big up, eat up and stand up for real cheese.
What is
real cheese?
Real cheese is made by hand,
by real people.
Real cheese is made using local milk.
From the cheesemaker’s own farm or one within a few miles.
Real cheese is our food heritage.
It nurtures the soil, encourages biodiverse farmland and demands exceptional animal welfare. It supports farming families and local economies.
Real cheese tastes incredible.
We’re here for real cheese.
