Price not listed

Pasteurised Full Fat Milk, Salt, Starter Culture. Quickes Cheese is only a stones throw away from us here in Exeter. Based in Newton St Cyres, they use traditional methods of making clothbound cheese by hand and using milk from their farm right here in the South West. The cheese is slowly matured which creates a deeply satisfying flavour. The oak smoked uses the mature cheese which is then smoked using the oak chips from the oak trees on the Quickes estate. This creates a fantastic smoky, buttery flavour. This cheese is matured for around 9-12 months.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ORCHARDLEA FOODS LIMITED, number 03420297. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
