Our customers love to learn about cheese – and where better to discuss ripeness, serving options and even wine pairing than with an expert cheesemonger. Many farm shops around the country now proudly boast dedicated cheese counters with experts happily sharing their vast breadth of knowledge. One of the most impressive in our area is Newlyns Farm Shop and its dedicated Cheese Room.
A family owned business, Newlyns is a Farm Shop, Cafe and Cookery School. Situated on the 500 acre family farm, the Farm Shop sells its own meat, and champions local produce from Hampshire and Berkshire producers. With eggs from the Farm, an impressive deli, fridges brimming with home made fresh and frozen meals, a specialist Fishmonger and dedicated Cheese Room, visitors can enjoy the full breadth of their daily grocery needs.
The Cheese Room is specially equipped to enable the cheeses to be stored, aged to perfection and then sold at their prime. Visitors are encouraged to chat through their specific needs with the expert cheesemonger, and to try the cheese before it is cut and wrapped in waxed paper. The Cheese Room stocks one of the broadest ranges of quality artisan cheese available in the area, and proudly sources 95% of its supplies from within the UK and Ireland. The team is hugely knowledgeable, and very keen to champion local dairies. Award winning Tunworth and Winslade are among their best sellers – either to enjoy as part of a cheeseboard, to use in cooking or as part of their increasingly popular Wedding Cheese Cakes!
