Very good cheese, used for a function and got really good feedback from clients. Will definitely use again and if anyone asks for a local cheese supply would definately recommend.

Great setup, such a great idea. Fabulous raw cheese. Would love to access raw milk if possible.

Found Olde Sussex cheese by chance. We are always looking for raw milk alternatives. I can honestly say it is the best cheese I have tasted in years. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you, we appreciate what a tough industry this is. 🙂

Excellent cheese - I went with the Burwash Rose which was really delicious. Used the vending machine which worked very well and seems to run at all hours!
