Loosehanger Cheeses are an award winning cheese maker in the UK.,

Welcome to the home of Loosehanger Handmade Cheeses UK At our small dairy on the northern edge of the New Forest, we have developed an award-winning range of original recipes that capture the flavour and characteristics of the pure Ayrshire cows milk that is the basis of all our cheeses. Star of Ready Steady Cook 7th April 2008. Our latest claim to fame is our success at the 2007 British Cheese Awards - winning BEST BLUE CHEESE for the 1st time with our OLD SARUM sweet blue cheese. More on this and our other successes when I find half-a-day to create our AWARDS Page (don't hold your breath though) The milk is produced by a single herd of Ayrshire cows owned and managed by the Ody family, at Upper Wooton, Basingstoke. The cows graze on the herb-rich Hampshire Downs and are fed cereals that are grown on the farm. Woodgarston is a traditionally managed family farm. Bob & Russell breed their own replacements from within the herd and won the cup for outstanding stockmanship in 2004. This is the best milk I have ever tasted and it's fantastic for cheesemaking. From this excellent raw material the cheeses are handcrafted in the time-honoured way, and allowed to mature slowly on traditional wooden slats.
