The Real Cheese Project

We’re here to celebrate artisan cheesemakers, support independent cheesemongers and get more people buying the good stuff - to protect and promote real British cheese. The UK is home to over 1,000 artisan cheeses, made with milk from farmers working in harmony with nature.

From hefty truckles and big bold blues, through to delicate mould-ripened beauties in all shapes and sizes, Britain has world class cheese in every corner of the countryside. We’ve got small cheesemakers and local cheesemongers to thank for this, but they need our support.

Flipping the traditional awards scheme on its head, People’s Cheese has been created to help the cheese loving public discover the makers and mongers that make British cheese so great.
