Emily and her husband Sam are arable farmers based in Suffolk who are interested in diversifying the output of their farm and ultimately including animals within their system. Their development of a cheese is a first step in this direction.

As of Spring 2024, Pyghtle is one of our newest cheeses, and we are providing feedback (both from our soft cheese team and our customers) to Emily to help her refine the method and coax the best flavours from her milk supply. All of the Pyghtle that we buy comes from the milk of the smaller local flock, with whom Emily has the closest interaction on a daily basis.
