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.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Hands down, the best Stilton in the world — no exaggeration. I haven’t had the chance to visit Hartington Creamery in person (yet!), but their Stilton made its way to my table and completely blew me away. Creamy, perfectly tangy, and with that unmistakable depth of flavor that only true artisanal cheese can deliver.You can tell this isn’t mass-produced — it’s cheese made with love, tradition, and serious skill. Honestly, I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know who even mentions cheese.Hartington Creamery, you're officially on my foodie pilgrimage list. Can’t wait to visit one day and try everything fresh from the source!

A Beautifully Balanced Delight – 5 StarsTried 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!
