Martin Gott and Nicola Robinson are best known for their sheep’s milk cheeses, but during the course of 2020’s Coronavirus lockdown 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 developed a lactic cheese using the lactic goat's cheese moulds used originally to make Innes Brick. Goat’s milk is particularly well suited to this style of cheese, so it's no surprise that they've settled on this choice, though the flavours of the resulting cheese are quite different.
