Since 1861, our family has been proudly making the finest quality, great tasting Farmhouse Cheddar. Traditionally produced in the heart of the Somerset countryside, our multi award-winning and UK best-selling Cheddar range is still made using our Grandmother, Ivy Clothier’s, age-old recipe.

At Quickes Traditional, we make award-winning traditional cheeses using milk from our dairy herd. Every truckle is handmade by one of nine skilled cheese makers before being wrapped in muslin and carefully matured for anything up to 24 months. The Quicke family have been farming here at Home Farm, near the village of Newton St. Cyres in the South West of England, for over 450 years. 25 years ago Sir John Quicke and his wife Prue built the dairy, where Sir John’s daughter Mary continues to produce outstanding cheeses today.

Black Cow is the world’s smoothest vodka, made purely from the milk of grass-grazed cows and nothing else. Fresh whole milk makes an exceptionally smooth vodka with a unique creamy character. The vodka is distilled, blended and filtered on England’s West Dorset coast.
