Two Hoots Cheese
One day her cousin suggested that Sandy (owner) make soft cheese from her own goat’s milk which she did. She made the first batch in a bucket and hung it overnight in the shower in a muslin bag to drain. The following day salt, garlic and chives were added to complete the cheese which was then enjoyed by all the family. Encouraged by this, Sandy and Andy started thinking about taking the cheese-making to the next step and turning it into a business which they did. Since then Barkham Blue has consistently won awards including winning Best Blue Cheese , Best English Cheese and Supreme Champion at the 2008 British Cheese Awards and 3 Star Gold at the 2010,2011 and 2012 Great Taste Awards and Super Gold plus Best British Cheese at the 2012 World Cheese Awards.
They are very proud of all the awards their blue cheeses have won over the years and they hope you’ll love them too. They are available online via their website, at many farm shops and delis as well as being served at pubs and restaurants across the UK.
