The Courtyard Dairy cheesemongers know the background and the stories behind the cheeses they sell, by making regular visits to the cheese-makers, talking cheese with them, and helping with the production.

The knowledgeable background of The Courtyard Dairy cheesemongers includes a scholarship in Cheese Maturing from The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, an apprenticeship in Affinage (cheese ageing) in France, together with working for some of the UK’s top cheesemongers, from Borough Market to deep Cheddar country in Somerset.
