In July 2021, cheesemonger, educator and podcaster Sam Wilkin (aka Cellarman Sam) started an ambitious project to document a-year-in-the-life of Westcombe Dairy. It was a really timely partnership as it coincided with a big push here at Westcombe Dairy to take our regenerative farming practices to the next level.
During 2020 our conversations increasingly turned to bygone farmhouse cheddar makes and their diversity. It got us thinking about why things are done a certain way and why we hold on to some methods and discount others. But while theoretical talk is all well and good, nothing beats actually doing it, so starting in February 2021 we decided to conduct a series of historic cheddar makes to see what we could learn.
