Quickes Traditional Ltd Competitors

The Fine Cheese Co. is a maturer, wholesaler, retailer and exporter of artisan British cheeses, most of which are unpasteurised and all of which are traditionally made. We are based in historic Bath, founded by the Romans and famous for its beautiful Georgian architecture - alongside Venice the only World Heritage city in Europe. Bath is set in the heart of the English West Country, the home of the most famous of British cheeses: Cheddar. We have been cheese specialists for twenty years, and from the start we have nurtured and supported the cream of British cheese-makers. We stock over a hundred hand-made British cheeses: from rediscovered gems such as Devon Oke, a hard but creamy cows’ milk cheese made to the original seventeenth century recipe, to Lord of the Hundreds, an unpasteurised mature sheep’s milk cheese made in the style of an Italian Pecorino. The Fine Cheese Co. has been owned and run from the beginning by Ann-Marie Dyas. A judge at both the British and World Cheese Awards, Ann-Marie is committed to the survival of traditional cheese-making, and to introducing farmhouse cheeses to as wide a public as possible. However, our love of cheese extends beyond these shores. We also import artisan cheeses from France, Italy, Spain and Holland. (Sometimes the only way to get the Dutch to part with their finest aged Gouda is to go over and get it.) Throughout our history, The Fine Cheese Co. has sought, cared for and loved hand-made cheese. We have also made it our business to know what flatters it and makes it a new experience. Our dedicated and unique ranges of Crackers (made by our sister Company, Artisan Biscuits), Fruits, Whole Fruits, Chutneys, and English Pickles for Cheese are the result. We are a strong supporter of the independent retailer – after all we are an independent retailer ourselves – and none of The Fine Cheese Co. ranges of products will ever be sold in a British supermarket.

Snowdonia Cheese Company is a family business, founded in North Wales in 2001. We use the finest natural ingredients to produce a premium range of waxed cheeses and traditionally made chutneys, distributed throughout the UK and to more than 25 countries internationally, including Canada, Australia, the United States, France and Germany. We have won multiple awards for our products and in 2021 we received the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade.

Deep in the heart of Wessex, where landscape and legend intertwine, and character and curiosity are around every corner, lies Godminster. Born in Bruton, we bring the spirit of the West Country to the cheeseboard. Every truckle tells a tale – of myth and mystery, taste and tradition – made hand in hand with our land. Our mission is to be at the heart of the cheeseboard of life. Why? Because a cheeseboard is a centrepiece that brings people together around the table, and it’s got something for everyone to enjoy, just the way they like it.
