Kirkham’s Traditional Lancashire 10kg

In 1939, there were 202 farmhouse producers of Lancashire. Today, only the Kirkham’s remain, with Graham Kirkham the third generation to follow in his family’s footsteps by making raw milk Lancashire according to the traditional method.

This involves combining curds from several days’ milkings – an approach as unique as it is time consuming, having originated in the days when Lancashire farms were much smaller and didn’t produced enough cow’s milk to produce cheese on a daily basis.

But it’s well worth the effort for the flavour and texture that results. Buttery and flaky with a vibrant acidity that the Kirkham’s call ‘buttery crumble’. For a traditional treat, pair with Eccles Cake.
