Why do we bother turning all those cheeses?! 🤔

Turning bloomy-rinded cheese, like the Wigmores pictured, encourages even rind development and stops them from sticking to the racks (nothing more heartbreaking than a damaged rind 🤕). Turning also helps distribute moisture more evenly throughout the cheese, since airflow dries the top surface faster while the bottom side remains a little wetter against the rack. 🧀

We turn our hard and soft cheeses 1-2 times per week. The blues need a little more attention and get turned every other day. 💛

Life at the dairy lately ✨

Our team has been busy behind the scenes. Moulding, turning, washing and piercing.

Hands on, handmade, hands everywhere. 🤗
