Originally produced by Ticklmore Cheeses in the '90s, Rustic production moved to the new Sharpham Dairy in 2003. Sharpham Rustic has become one of the most popular cheeses in the west country. It has an ivory rind and buttery yellow paste, and is an easy eating cheese with a crumbly texture and delicate flavour that matures with age. Therefore, Rustic works really well on a board between the strongest bries and the punchiest blues.
Upon completion of your order, you will be asked to select a delivery date. We will always work to deliver to you on your date chosen but sometimes delays may occur. We will contact you if a change to the delivery date is required. At check-out, your delivery charge will be calculated.
All our products are packed in Cheese Cuisine boxes (unless you have ordered a giftbox or added a hamper to your order) with filling (bubble wrap where needed) and gel ice packs when required, to preserve the quality of fresh products.
Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

However, if your order is a gift, select the option at check-out to include a personal message on a gift card with information letting the recipient know how they can find out about their products on our website.
Starting in 1981 the 18th century coachyard of Sharpham House was home to the creamery where their range of handmade cheeses were produced. Using the rich milk from their Jersey cattle and vegetarian rennet, their Sharpham Rustic has been so well received that demand now far exceeds supply. In April 2003 they moved into their new purpose-built creamery sited next to the winery. The building is modern and bigger, however the team still employ the same traditional techniques and the cheeses will remain fully hand produced and free of GM ingredients.
