So that’s a wrap 📽️

Filming is now complete for our upcoming cheese documentary, Raw: The Story of a Small Cheese.

Thanks so much to the awesome @jakemakescheese & Wendy @primrosecreamery for having us up to their place on the Welbeck Estate for some final reflections. It’s been a total joy working with these two.

Made by @nicck_james & @samandcheesestories, with support from @chiswickcheesemarket, the film follows Primrose Creamery’s journey from cheesemaking to awards nights on what turned out to be an epic first year for the business.

Release date set for Wednesday 4 November 🍿

Lindley is in the final of The People’s Cheese! 🧀💛

Thank you to everyone who tasted and voted at Chiswick Cheese Market to get our little cheese into the final four. Having people try what we make and choose it as their favourite means an awful lot.

The final is on Saturday 17 October, and you get to help choose the winner! Order a tasting box with all four finalists and join live from your sofa at 7pm to taste along and cast your vote. Or join the celebrations in person in Wendover from 5–9pm, with @marcusbrigstocke , music, comedy and plenty of cheese.

@thecraftycheeseman_ @craftyscapers will be spending the night telling everyone that Lindley is his kinda cheese!

@therealcheeseproject have been such brilliant supporters of Primrose, and I’m really pleased Lindley gets to be part of this. Have a taste, see what you think, and if we’re your favourite, we’d love your vote 🤞

What a pleasure to be at Chiswick Cheese Market today the best cheese market in the UK in my book!

On the tasting table: Lindley from Primrose Creamery, winner of the Golden Fork for Outstanding Bursary Winner and Golden Fork for England plus is a People’s Cheese finalist for 17 October! One of just 306 three-star products from over 15,000 entries!

Alongside it, Sant’Elia’s incredible Lambrusco balsamic from Modena and outstanding crackers from Andrew Gilhespy at The Fresh Flour Company in Devon. Huge thanks to Chiswick Cheese Market for introducing us to Fresh Flour what a pairing!

Bought a tasting box today? Join us on Thursday at 7pm. I’ll be tasting with you from Torino at Slow Food’s Terra Madre, celebrating real food and the people who make it possible.

Following the loss of founder Carlo Petrini this year, it feels especially poignant. His belief in good, clean and fair food lives on through people coming together and supporting one another. Through collaboration and kindness the world could be so much better - Carlo was basically epic.

Brilliant cheese, incredible crackers and a wonderful community. Thank you, Chiswick! by @jakemakescheese

WE WON BOTH OF THEM. 🥹🏆🏆

On Tuesday night, Eggleston was named the Golden Fork from England, making it the highest-rated English product at Great Taste 2026.

Then Lindley, which I was only able to enter after receiving a free place through the Great Taste bursary, won the Golden Fork for Outstanding Bursary Winner.

I genuinely thought having both cheeses awarded 3 stars and nominated for separate Golden Forks was already more than I could have hoped for. To come home with both awards is completely ridiculous.

Less than a year ago, Primrose Creamery was just me, a tiny new cheesemaking business and the first two cheeses I had ever created. Those two cheeses have now both received Great Taste’s highest star rating and gone on to win two of its top awards.

I’m still trying to take it all in, but I’m incredibly proud of these little cheeses and enormously grateful to everyone who has bought them, stocked them, served them, talked about them and helped Primrose get this far.

Huge thanks to @guildoffinefood for everything and stunning pics from @rbstudio_s

What a bloody night. ❤️ by @jakemakescheese

🍷 COOL CLIMATE WINE x PRIMROSE CREAMERY 🧀

This October, we’re getting stuck into one of the great combinations... wine and cheese.

We’ll be opening four bottles from some of the world’s cooler wine-growing regions, pairing each with a small-batch cheese from Primrose Creamery, made on the Welbeck Estate.

Jake from Primrose will be talking cheese, Oliver will be pouring the wine, and together we’ll get into what makes each pairing tick.

Expect plenty of tasting, conversation and seriously good cheese, served alongside Crumb Bakery sourdough, cultured butter and seasonal accompaniments.

Friday 9th & Friday 23rd October | 5:30–7:30pm
📍 JÖRO Bar, Oughtibridge
🎟️ Details & tickets via our website

Over 15,000 products enter @guildoffinefood great taste awards. We were lucky enough to get a bursary to enter Lindley so we thought sod it let's enter Eggleston as well.

We had no idea what was about to happen. From those 15k less than 2% get 3 stars and only 33 go through to be nominated for a golden fork. We got 3 stars for both cheeses, and both went on to recieve golden fork nominations.🌟🏆🌟

Out of all the awards we could get great taste has always been the one that meant the most to me. To achieve this less than a year into our journey is something I still can't quite get my head around.

The highlight of the cheesemaker's calendar has to be the SCA Farm Visit. This year it was hosted by @quickescheese in Devon, and they put on one hell of a show.

There were huge slabs of meat over the fire, plenty of cows to admire, mountains of fantastic cheese, and more local wine and cider than anyone could reasonably complain about.

Best of all, it was brilliant catching up with old friends and meeting plenty of new faces from across the industry. Already looking forward to the next one! by @jakemakescheese

Not a bad weekend.

🥉 Eggleston named one of the top three raw milk cheeses at the Artisan Cheese Awards.

🏆 Best Young Cheesemaker.

Considering Primrose Creamery is still in its first year, it's hard to put into words what that means.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, stocked us, bought our cheese, given feedback, and helped spread the word. It genuinely means the world.

And yes...I am still young. (Apparently) by @jakemakescheese

Eggleston Reserve launches tomorrow.

Eggleston Reserve is a celebration of the natural variability of raw milk cheese while the cows are out at pasture, aged for far longer than our flagship Eggleston.

As the season changes, so does the milk, influenced by weather, grass quality, stage of lactation and the day-to-day rhythm of the farm. Rather than chasing total consistency, Reserve is about embracing those changes and allowing each batch to express a particular moment in the season.

Every batch will be slightly different, more like vintages of wine than a standardised product. To help tell that story, each batch is accompanied by field notes explaining the seasonal and make changes that shaped it.

Highly limited and only produced through the grazing months.

Available from selected mongers from tomorrow. Check our website for stockists. by @jakemakescheese

Seeing Eggleston going round the conveyor at Pick & Cheese genuinely feels a bit mad. This place has been on the list for a long time so having one of our cheeses featured there is a proper pinch yourself moment. Very grateful to the team for backing such a small producer and getting Eggleston in front of so many people. 🧀

Six months in, and this feels pretty surreal.

Silver for Lindley and bronze for Eggleston at the British & Irish Cheese Awards.

Not bad for a tiny creamery still finding its feet, working with raw milk, learning every day, and putting everything into getting these cheeses just right.

Massive thank you to everyone who’s supported, stocked, tasted, and taken a punt on something new. It genuinely means everything.

Plenty more to come.
