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.
Makers of the Signature Dovedale Blue Cheese
This cheese is produced in small batches using only hand-made methods, making it a true artisan product.
Dovedale has been awarded a PDO, meaning that it can only be produced in this part of the world, in the Peak District.
Matured for 6-8 weeks, the cheese has a sumptuous, smooth texture and a delicate, creamy blue flavour.
NEW! Traditional & Red Derby & Skegness Blue
Introducing our latest cheese to our range: Traditional Derby Cheese, a unique regional cheese we have brought back for you to rediscover. Gold Winner at the International Cheese Awards, this is an excellent alternative to boring cheddars!
The new Skegness Blue release is the original regional recipe made even better. With a texture between Stilton and Brie, this unique and tasty brine-washed cheese is something to behold. It is available as a 160g wedge or a 2.2kg foil-wrapped wheel of cheese.
Last but not least, a brand-new regional cheese, uniquely made by Hartington Creamery, is the Red Derby Cheese, with a sweet and nutty hint, and a similar firm texture to its cousin, Traditional Derby Cheese.
Our favourites
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!
