A small artisanal cheese maker. Their cheese is excellent, in particular the Park House Cheddar. Catch them at local markets, or use their website. They are not set up as a retail outlet for visitors.
Very disappointing, not worth the effort to drive here. Nothing to see at the factory, no facilities for tasting or manned sales and the honesty sales cabin had one roundel of cheese and 3 tubs of coffee 'gelato'.
An absolute cheese kingdom, vell worth the visit.
Torpenhow Cheese Company is a family organic dairy farm at Park House Farm in Torpenhow, Cumbria, making handmade organic cheese and butter from its own 100% pasture fed herd.
The Lee family milk a single herd of Jersey, Friesian and Norwegian Red cows at Park House Farm on the northern edge of the Lake District, and turn the day's organic milk into handmade cheese in a converted hay barn across the courtyard from the farmhouse. The herd grazes outside for over 300 days a year on native grasses, clovers, chicory, herbs and legumes, everything the cows eat is grown on the farm, and the pastures are mob grazed on a 28 day rotation. The cheese is certified organic and a Pasture for Life certified product.
The range runs from the award winning Park House Cheddar and the brie style Darling Howe to crumbly Trusmadoor, Binsey Red, an oak smoked cheddar and organic butter, all made by hand since 2019 and sold through the online cheese shop and local stockists. Because the milk changes with the pasture, each handmade batch varies slightly through the year.
