Cricket St Thomas Brie is rich and creamy and has a soft edible rind. A British alternative to the famous French classic, with a notable flavour difference which is the result of using local,
Montagnolo Blue. Indulge in the bold contrast of a creamy, soft blue cheese. The tangy, salty notes of the blue cheese complement the cider’s fruity sweetness, offering a complex, cosy experience with each sip and bite.
Westcombe Cheddar. One of only three cheeses classed as artisan Somerset cheddar. Westcombe cheddar has notes of hazelnut, caramel and citrus with a mellow lactic tang. It’s known locally as a “five mile cheddar”, as you’re still be tasting it five mile down the road.
Heritage
At Sheppy's it is important for us to know about our cheesemakers, who they are, their history, their story and their processes so there is a direct connection from them to you.
At our core is a selection of some of the most inspiring and exciting raw milk and pasteurised cheeses currently being made. We supply cheese made from cow, goat and sheep milk, traditional animal rennet and many vegetarian varieties. We have a range of blues, washed rinds, fresh yoghurty cheeses, young curds, soft unctuous cheeses and traditional hearty regional cheeses.
Celebrate your special occasion with cheese cake
At Sheppy's Cheesemongers we are experienced in putting together a combination of cheese to suit any occasion. Each ‘cake’ is created specifically to fit your budget and the size of your party.
Decorated with seasonal flowers and fruit each one is unique to your occasion.
Values aligned
Cider comes from the land, the flavour comes from the earth and the orchard where the fruit is grown. Cheese is no different, its complexity is created by the milk, the animals and the pastures themselves. Both products rely on the terrain, soil and climate of a region for their products to flourish.
We work with cheesemakers that value the quality of what they produce and whose practices sustain our environment and cultural heritage. They produce food with a story - a provenance and place.
We've been at it a while
At Sheppy's we have built fantastic relationships with many regional and European producers. Here you can see a receipt from Jon Sheppy dated 1859 for the sale of butter and cream to a local cheese producer
