Supplier Profile
At Quickes Traditional, we make award-winning traditional cheeses using milk from our dairy herd. Every truckle is handmade by one of nine skilled cheese makers before being wrapped in muslin and carefully matured for anything up to 24 months. The Quicke family have been farming here at Home Farm, near the village of Newton St. Cyres in the South West of England, for over 450 years. 25 years ago Sir John Quicke and his wife Prue built the dairy, where Sir John’s daughter Mary continues to produce outstanding cheeses today.
The most famous cheese in our range is our Traditional Mature Cheddar, a far cry from the block cheddars that flood the market today. By slowly maturing a muslin-wrapped truckle for a year, we allow it to breathe, producing a beautiful rinded cheese with a unique and complex flavour.
From Mild through to Vintage, there is a Quickes Traditional Cheddar to suit every palette, as well as Traditional Red Leicester, Double Gloucester and Hard Goats Cheese.
