Pasteurised Goat's MILK, Salt, Farm Produced Cheese Cultures, Animal Rennet

Holbrook is named for the late Mary Holbrook, who until her passing in 2019 was widely regarded as one of the best goat’s cheese makers in Britain.

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.

We visit Holker Farm Dairy on our monthly trips to the north of England to taste and select cheeses. Every batch of Holbrook that we sell is selected after tasting at one of these visits with the cheesemakers.
