Village Maid Cheese

Best Sheep s Cheese at the 2025 British Cheese Awards . Super Gold at the 2023 World Cheese Awards . Best British Cheese at the 2022 World Cheese Awards . A hard-pressed cheese made from pasteurised ewe’s milk with a vegetarian rennet. The cheese is matured for 7-8 months with a thin, natural rind. Often compared to Pecorino, Manchego and even Parmigiano Reggiano, Spenwood has a well-developed, nutty flavour with elements of sweet and savoury and a supple texture. Kept longer it becomes more piquant, harder and slightly crumbly. A great substitute for Parmesan with pasta. Pair with a full-bodi

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 VILLAGE MAID CHEESE LIMITED, number 03846528. 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.
