Nether Stowey Reserve Review New Cricketer Farm Launch


I adore cheese and one of the great parts of my blog is trying new products and I like it even more when I get asked if I like cheese?

It has to be my all time favourite sandwich filling and it also has to be in my ideal world a good mature cheddar.

I am happy to say I have another fine mature cheddar to add to my cheeseboard. Nether Stowey is the new and their first ever branded Cheddar cheese, all I can say is they should have been making this for years, its wonderful.
It is creamy and has a real deep strength of flavour I found it to be really mature and pleasantly strong, but its not bitter. Its rich and has a lovely aftertaste, its perfect in good granary or murti seeded brown bread, fabulous on its own and I do admit to having to revisit the fridge to get another slice.


Somerset based award-winning cheesemaker Cricketer Farm, has launched its first ever branded Cheddar cheese, Nether Stowey Reserve; specially selected for its delicious smooth, rich, mature flavour. Nether Stowey, a village on the edge of the Quantock Hills, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), has been the home of Cricketer Farm since the dairy was founded.

 Cricketer Farm was established by the late Lord Beaverbrook in the 1940's. Since then, they have been making award-winning cheeses.
This history, combined with a commitment to making only the finest cheeses from local milk, is the foundation of our business.

Nether Stowey, a village on the edge of the Quantock Hills, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), has been the home of Cricketer Farm since the dairy was founded.

The new Nether Stowey Reserve has been made to a traditional recipe which has been passed down through generations of master cheesemakers, using milk sourced from dairy herds that graze on the lush pastures surrounding the village and neighbouring countryside.


“We are very excited about the launch of our new Nether Stowey Reserve. We’ve been making cheese for over 60 years and this is the first time that our new brand will appear on shelf. Our new packs picture our cheesemakers, including three brothers from the Villis family, who this year celebrate their 100th year of cheesemaking, a real milestone for both the family and Cricketer. The Villis brothers have played an invaluable part in the success and continued growth of Cricketer and we are incredibly proud and pleased that they have agreed to be pictured on our new packs,” said Jo Carter from Cricketer Farm.

Jo continued: “the cheesemaking skill and expertise of Anthony, Richard and Nigel is second to none and we are delighted that they will be involved in the judging at this year’s Bath & West. Anthony’s son Patrick started cheesemaking with us in 1988 so we hope that the Villis family’s involvement at Cricketer continues for many more years to come!”
