Our proud heritage of artisan cheesemaking since 1870 made on Pikehall Farm in the Derbyshire Dales
Our cheese is handmade at our creamery based at the historic Pikehall Farm, using milk from the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. We are proudly the smallest Stilton producer using original artisan techniques, for our deliciously creamy range of cheese that includes PDO protected Blue Stilton & White Stilton, Dovedale Blue and the original ancient recipe Sage Derby and Traditional Derby cheese.

British & Irish Cheese Awards
Our most celebrated cheeses, all in one box.
Seven of our cheeses recently picked up awards at the British & Irish Cheese Awards, recognised by industry judges for their quality, flavour, and traditional craftsmanship. These aren’t just popular choices, they’re cheeses that have been independently judged and proven to stand out.
So we’ve brought them together into one expertly selected collection, designed to give you a perfectly balanced cheeseboard without the guesswork. From rich, creamy blues with depth and character to smooth, mellow classics that are easy to enjoy, this selection showcases the full range of what we do best.
Every cheese is handmade at our Derbyshire creamery using time-honoured methods and locally sourced milk. Each batch is carefully graded by our expert team to ensure it meets the highest standards before it reaches your table. Consistency, quality, and flavour, every time.
Don’t just take our word for it!
Tried the Chocolate & Chilli Cheese from Hartington Creamery and it was absolutely stunning. The texture was smooth, the balance between chocolate, cheese, and that gentle chilli warmth was spot on. Gave it as a twist on Easter gifts this year and it went down a treat. A real favourite now. Delivery was prompt and packaging lovely – brilliant service all round. Highly recommend!
