The Big Cheese Move

If you’ve visited our website recently, or if you follow us on Twitter, you will have seen that Moorlands has recently moved our premises from the beautiful setting of Castle Cary, Somerset to the equally beautiful Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire.

Of course Somerset is known for being the home of Cheddar cheese, which originated from the village of the same name. It is thought to have been around since the 12^th century, when it was purchased by Henry II, and it’s still a hugely popular buy today.

Meanwhile, Gloucestershire is the home of the popular, semi-hard Gloucester cheese, which is actually available in single and double varieties. Double Gloucester is aged for a longer period, creating a stronger taste, and is often blended with ingredients such as chives and spring onions. It also features in Gloucestershire’s annual cheese-rolling contest.

But whatever your taste in cheese, and regardless of where we’re actually based, you can be sure of purchasing premium quality cheesemaking kits, equipment and supplies from http://www.cheesemaking.co.uk

Welcome to Moorlands

Welcome to the blog for Moorlands Cheesemaking Ltd, suppliers of professional-style cheesemaking kits that allow you to make delicious cheese tailored to your individual tastes, in your own home.

Originally established in 1969, Moorlands is based in Somerset, home of traditional English Cheddar and the popular Frome Agricultural and Cheese Show. People from all walks of life including top London restaurateurs and well-known celebrity chefs have purchased our cheese kits.

The beauty of making your own cheese is that you can take into account your own personal food intolerances or tastes. For example, if you are unable to digest cows’ milk, you can use goats’ or ewes’ milk instead or if you like a cheese flavoured with herbs or spices you can add these when making your cheese.

Our cheesemaking kits come complete with liquid rennet (an enzyme complex that curdles milk) and high quality starters (cultures containing lactic-acid producing bacteria used in the fermentation process). They also contain the necessary equipment to get started with the cheesemaking process including cheese moulds, thermometer, cheesecloth, full instructions and, in the case of hard cheese kits, a press. 

Whether you’re looking to take up a new interest yourself or are seeking a slightly more unusual gift, a Moorlands cheesemaking kit is the ideal choice.
