We are the number one choice of smoker as we only smoke dairy products, so there is no risk of cross-contamination.
We are proud to offer a bespoke contract smoking service to cheese makers, manufacturers and wholesalers throughout the UK, ensuring a consistent and hygienic product every time.
Since our first smoker was installed in 2000, we went on to expand the smokehouse, installing our second smoking kiln in 2010, thinking this would be sufficient to satisfy demand. How wrong we were! As news of our reputation grew and popularity soared for naturally smoked cheese, we saw a sharp rise in demand for our services and therefore installed our third, 4-chamber smoking kiln in January 2023. We now have a colossal smoking capacity of 40 tonnes per week, enabling us to satisfy demand in state-of-the-art smoking facilities.
With almost 25 years experience in smoking cheese, we deliver a refined and delicate smoked flavour to all types of pasteurised cheese. We are able to cut all formats, ranging from 1kg to 10kg inclusive. We are so confident in our smoking experience, that we offer a complimentary trial smoking service for you to try, without any obligation.
‘The art of smoking cheese is the ability to produce the perfect density and speed of smoke required to enhance the cheese’s natural flavours with a rich nuttiness that so many people enjoy’ Chris Sandham CEO.
We have won many local and national awards for our own range of smoked cheese and also for that of our customers.
We only smoke dairy products, so there is no risk of cross-contamination. In addition to the UK territorials such as Lancashire and Cheddar, we successfully smoke a varied range of products including Red Leicester, Brie, Stilton and Mozzarella. We also smoke salted and unsalted butter.
We use the finest BRC accredited, sustainable oak smoking chips to produce a golden colouration and a smooth smoky flavour, without the residual bitterness you often find with lower quality wood chip.
Hickory, Cherry, Beech, Spruce, Apple, Juniper, Whisky, Chestnut & Mesquite are also available on request.
