Along with Westcombe, Pitchfork, and Montgomery’s, Keen's is one of the last traditional raw milk artisan Somerset Cheddars. This is due to the fact the criteria are so much stricter than those for West Country Farmhouse Cheddars. The production process uses raw untreated milk from their grass-fed herd, with pint starters rather than powder, traditional animal rennet, and a clothbound maturation of at least 12 months.

The result is a strong, tangy cheddar with a mellow depth of flavour, occasionally blueing throughout. A standout traditional cheddar that is keeping its place firmly in the classic cheese world.

Meet the Maker

The Keen family have been making cheddar since 1898! Now in their fifth generation, they're one of only 4 dairies left making traditional cheddar from unpasteurised, cow's milk from their own farm. Today, son James is continuing his family's farmhouse cheddar legacy!
