Brooke’s Dairy was our very first Producer of the Month back in 2019. You can read our original interview with Hannah to find out more about Angiddy and her farm.
When we first started making Angiddy we were renting premises. Now we have a cheese dairy right here on our farm. I used to make the cheese on my own too – while juggling children and another job – but as we’ve grown we’ve been able to take on another cheesemaker, Karen, who joined us last year. She’s amazing. She’s such a foodie and loves using Angiddy in her cooking.
It was so exciting when we spotted Angiddy being used on The Great British Bake Off in 2019. We had no idea that contestant Michelle was going to use it in her bake. We were sat watching TV and suddenly heard ‘Angiddy’ mentioned – it was such a shock, but amazing at the same time!
We’ve been farming in Wales since the 1970s and it means such a lot to be able to produce cheese made from our own milk. There’s so much time and energy that goes into farming and the Wye Valley has the perfect weather and grass for dairy farming, so we feel really proud to produce a Welsh cheese.
During this uncertain time we’ve done some experimenting! We actually already had a recipe for a blue cheese in the works, but we’ve been refining it recently and it’s nearly ready for launch.
We’re very lucky to count Kate Humble as friend and neighbour and we were recently featured on her programme, Escape to the Farm. Kate spent the day with us making cheese and meeting our cows – she says Angiddy is her favourite cheese!
