Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company

Great to cheddar being made in cheddar. Amazing cheese and some are left to mature in à cave! The best cheese I’ve ever eaten. 5 stars

The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company is an absolute gem and a must-visit when in Cheddar. We were truly captivated by the rich history of this place – the very heart of where Cheddar cheese originated. Watching the traditional cheesemaking process and learning about the craft added so much depth to the experience. The visit to the shop was a delight in itself. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the cheese tasting was an absolute highlight. The quality of the cheese is exceptional – from the smooth and creamy varieties to the cave-aged Cheddar with its rich, complex flavor. We couldn’t resist taking some home! If you appreciate history, craftsmanship, and excellent cheese, this is the perfect place to visit. A truly memorable experience that combines tradition, taste, and a beautiful setting in the stunning Cheddar Gorge. Highly recommended!

The museum was less than expected compared to the Swiss cheese museum. They should provide the schedule online so visitors can come at the right time for the shows. Also, the staff were not very welcoming or friendly to guests coming from all over the world. The cheese-making exhibition needs improvement: seating should be available for watching, and more detailed information should be provided, similar to the Swiss cheese exhibition (La Maison du Gruyère)

A store with a variety of items and there are trial samples. The staff are cooperative, but unfortunately, at the time we were unable to enter the museum.

Such a lovely shop with lots of local produce as well as caved aged cheddar cheese, in cheddar! Lots of flavours of cheese, lots of free samples of cheese and the cheese itself is delicious. Staff were very friendly here and you can even pay to see inside, and watch them make the cheese. Definitely worth going if you are in the charade area.

Bought some cheese straws from the company, came with hair ingrained. I emailed the company to advise them of this and ask for a refund. As I didn’t purchase directly from them I was advised I couldn’t be refunded - but no apology over the hair and their standards. Straws themselves very overly salty. Wouldn’t recommend.

The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company shop is a must visit in Cheddar Village! Fantastic selection of delicious cheeses, paired perfectly with their tasty chutneys and jams. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. A paradise for cheese lovers!

Really recommended to get the tickets to visit the cheese making facilities. All the process is visible through the glass along with video explanations. Learning about manual Cheddar making process was very interesting. In the shop, you get to taste the various types of cheeses.
