West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers

The Longman's have been making West Country Farmhouse Cheddar for a century, making a fine art of transforming milk from their cherished herds into flavoursome cheese.

The Longman family have been farmers and farmhouse cheesemakers in Somerset for over 100 years. In the 1930's my great-grandfather, William Longman, expanded the family business whilst ensuring that none of the traditional methods of cheesemaking were lost.

Today the Longman Group consists of eight farms with over 2,000 dairy cows grazing the rich fertile pastures of Somerset. All their milk is used in producing our own cheese. This provides the consistency we need to produce the very best quality Farmhouse Cheddar, full of character with a fine balance of strength and depth of flavour, and just a hint of the fresh tang reminiscent of the Somerset Levels.

In addition to real Cheddar, our expert cheesemakers also produce an expanding range of great British cheeses and a low-fat Cheddar made with semi skimmed milk, so now there's no excuse not to enjoy a taste of Somerset!
