Made by Ben Harris
Totnes, Devon
The creator of Harbourne Blue, Robin Congdon, is regarded as something of a pioneer of British blue cheeses, having created three new blues in the 1970s – a time when Stilton was pretty much the only blue in production in the UK.
Harbourne Blue is one of three blue cheeses developed by Robin Congdon and now made by Ben Harris and his team at Ticklemore Cheese in Totnes, Devon. The cheese is made throughout the year and the milk comes from the Lewis family in Wellington, Somerset. Though Harbourne Blue is made the same way as Beenleigh and Devon Blue, the use of goat's milk makes for a markedly different flavour and texture profile.
Randolph Hodgson started Neal's Yard Dairy at almost the same time as Robin Congdon started Ticklemore Cheese Dairy, and we've worked closely together from the beginning – first with Robin and then with Ben Harris when he became head cheesemaker in the early 2000s. We visit twice a year to taste and select cheese with Ben, and twice a year he comes to visit us at our Bermondsey maturation arches.
Wonderful blue cheese.
Easy to order and arrived very promptly in great condition. Will buy again
