Herefordshire is well known for our amazing local food, and Monkland Cheese Dairy is a a key part of that heritage. It’s been going strong for decades and specialises in Little Hereford and Monkland cheeses. I was lucky to get a personal tour with new owner and chief cheesemaker Dean, who is keeping the traditions going. It was great to have such a close view of what goes into making such delicious cheese – followed of course by tasting (and buying) several varieties in the on-site shop. Blessed are the Cheesemakers indeed, and may Monkland Cheese Dairy thrive for many more decades to come!
