Holker Farm Dairy is best known for its sheep’s milk cheeses, but during the course of 2020 the couple acquired a herd of goats from Joe Bennett and Aimee Lawn, the owners of Highfields Farm Dairy in Staffordshire, who stopped making cheese during the pandemic. Upon getting them back to their farm in the Lake District, Martin and Nicola quickly conceived a recipe similar to one of their established sheep’s milk cheeses, Crookwheel. Holbrook – named after the late Mary Holbrook on whose land the couple reared their first flock of sheep and began making their own cheese – is made with natural cultures developed by Martin, with a flavour profile that varies dramatically with the batch, from gentle and mellow to sharp and citrussy.
