This traditional handcrafted Lancashire Cheese has been produced on the Beesley Farm in Goosnargh, for 3 generations. The cheese is known as Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire Cheese as she has made it herself for the past 25 years as part of a small family business.

The raw milk used in our cheese is produced on the farm from their own herd of Friesian Holstein cows. The cheese is matured for at least 6 weeks before it leaves the farm, this produces a cheese that is mild, creamy and slightly crumbly. The cheese continues to mature for up to 12 months which produces a fuller and more rounded flavor.

All the cheeses are cloth bound and butter finished. This helps to develop a unique rind which encapsulates the cheese's crumbly texture and taste.
