The Cheese Yard was born in November 2013. We offer a point of difference from the supermarkets, offering great service, selling locally sourced, artisan products and a welcoming friendly environment in which you can relax and enjoy wonderful food and wine with friends and family. We strive to work with small producers such as Claire Burt in Ollerton, Cheshire, our local cheese maker of Burt's Blu

e and Drunken Burt. We also host regular cheese and wine tasting evenings which are a fantastic way to sample new produce with the opportunity of pairing 4 different wines with 8 different cheeses. Private events can also be arranged on request. If you are looking for a unique gift idea for foodies - ask us about our bespoke hampers (and gift vouchers). Brides and events are also catered for with our wedding / celebration cheese towers. With our experience and knowledge we can help you choose the perfect artisan cheeses and work to your tastes and within your budget. We are a very friendly team so feel free to get in touch for a chat we are always happy to advise!

05 · Burgundy

The race rolls through Burgundy this week — and where there's great wine, there's great cheese to match it.

Two to pour a glass alongside:

🧀 **Époisses** — washed in Marc de Bourgogne until it's golden, sticky and gloriously pungent. A showstopper.
🧀 **Délice de Bourgogne** — a triple-cream so buttery it's almost dessert.

Tell us your wine and we'll find your match. That's what we're here for.

04 · Cantal & the Auvergne — Bastille Day

It's the *quatorze juillet* — Bastille Day — and the Tour climbs into the volcanic mountains of the Cantal, the beating heart of French cheese. There's nowhere better to celebrate. Allez!

Six from the Auvergne to build the ultimate board:

🧀 **Cantal** — one of France's oldest cheeses: pressed, buttery, tangier with age.
🧀 **Saint-Nectaire** — earthy and mushroomy, irresistibly soft.
🧀 **Bleu d'Auvergne** — creamy and bold, a proper blue.
🧀 **Fourme d'Ambert** — gentler and fudgy, the blue for people who think they don't like blue.

Bonne fête to all our French friends. Come and raise a (cheese) toast with us today.

03 · Périgord & Dordogne

Today the Tour follows the Dordogne river through Périgord — a corner of France famous for walnuts, truffles and very good cheese.

Two beauties to seek out:

🧀 **Cabécou** — little discs of goat's cheese, bright, fresh and moreish.
🧀 **Tomme de Noix** — a cheese washed in walnut liqueur, gentle and quietly unusual. A real discovery.

Pop in this weekend and let us introduce you.

🚴‍♂️ The Tour de Fromage on our cheeseboards this week! 🧀🇫🇷

This week, our cheeseboards will feature a selection of the special French cheeses we’re showcasing as part of our Tour de France promotion.

Think beautiful French cheeses, proper accompaniments, a glass of wine, and that little “I’m glad we booked this” moment.

Perfect for a lunch date, a catch-up with friends, or just an excuse to treat yourself to something seriously good.

Available this week book your table or just pop in and come and taste your way through France, one cheese at a time.

02 · The Pyrenees

The peloton has crossed into France and into the Pyrenees.
Two to try while the riders climb:

🧀 Ossau-Iraty — the great Pyrenean sheep's milk cheese: dense, nutty, quietly brilliant.
🧀 Tomme des Pyrénées — A semi-firm Pyrénées cheese with a firm natural rind and semi-firm to semi-soft pale paste. This cheese is produced in the Pyrénées mountains of France from cows milk. Through grazing on the grasses and flowers of the mountains, the milk from these cows is full of flavour.

Come and taste your way over the cols. We'll guide you — no climbing required.

01 · Catalonia — Grand Départ

The Tour de France 2026 begins in Barcelona this weekend — so we're starting our own cheese journey exactly where the race does: in Catalonia.

A Catalan cheese to discover at the counter:

🧀 **Garrotxa** — a soft goat's cheese with a velvety grey rind and a gentle hazelnut finish.

A taste of the Grand Départ, waiting for you.

Demain, ça commence.
Tomorrow, the Tour de France 2026 rolls out of Barcelona and as a Frenchman, I couldn't let three weeks of racing through my home country pass by without celebrating it properly.

So here's what we've been quietly working on: Tour de Fromage.
For every stage of the race: from the Grand Départ in Catalonia this Saturday, all the way to Paris on the 26th, we'll be following the riders across France, region by region, mountain by mountain, and bringing you the cheeses of each place they visit.

The sheep's milk of the Pyrenees. The volcanic cheeses of the Cantal. Comté from the high Jura. The great Bries of Paris.

Nine regions, more than twenty cheeses, one extraordinary journey recreated right here on our counter, all month long.

Follow along with us here, and come and taste the route!!

À table, mes amis.🧀
