The Story
Cheddar has been made on Manor Farm in North Cadbury, Somerset for over 100 years. James Montgomery is the current proprietor and 3rd generation to run the family business. The cheddar is made from the raw milk of a herd of 200+ Friesian cows. James keeps a close watch on the diet of the cows as it has a great effect on the fat to protein levels in the milk. Too much fat can lead to off or rancid flavors, too much protein and the texture could be off. Premium production batches are selected by Neal's Yard Dairy, whose experts visit Manor Farm personally to select the wheels they wish to represent. Alongside Jamie Montgomery, they carefully taste all the cheese made over the course of the previous month and select only the ones that fit their desired profile. The wheels selected by Neal's Yard Dairy are set aside and continue to age at the farm until they are ready to be exported.
