The Milk
All of our cow’s milk is now sourced from Local Farms.
Our Goat’s milk comes from Meaburn Hall Farm, a family run Goat farm less than 8 Miles away from our site in Appleby.
The Cheese
Nestled in the Eden Valley in Cumbria, Appleby Creamery produces a wide range of distinctive and characterful cheeses ranging from soft cheeses, such as blue, brie and smoked brie to hard varieties, including cheddar and caerphilly-style cheeses.
Product innovation is at the heart of Appleby Creamery and we are constantly evolving and developing new products, for example we are very proud to have launched one of the UK’s first Halloumi style cheeses.
Appleby Creamery was established in 2007. The current team is run by Maurice and supported by a team of dedicated cheese makers. The team have mostly been with the business since their teens and were trained by former founders of the business. This expertise and experience combined with the highest quality ingredients makes the Appleby Creamery cheese an amazing range of products which we are hugely proud of and we know you will enjoy.
Sustainability
Appleby Creamery have embarked on a project to reduce its reliance on both grid supplied electricity and lpg. We have installed an array of solar panels on the Creamery roof that will provide a high percentage of our electricity requirements, at peak it will generate 180kW and we are able to export up to 100kW of that green energy to the grid. In addition, we are switching over to electricity as our primary energy source for both pasteurisation and water heating (from lpg). We have identified several areas for further potential savings in our new maker space where we plan to produce Halloumi and Ricotta (both fairly energy hungry processes) by installing heat exchangers to utilise waste hot water.
