A warm welcome from all of us here at Bourne's Cheshire Cheese. We are a family run business that have been producing award winning Cheshire Cheese since 1750.
We are based in Malpas, Cheshire where the herd of Friesian cows graze on the land of The Bank, our family home since 1930. They provide us with the milk used to make our farmhouse cheese.
Unlike many other cheesemakers who use industrial production methods, we still use traditional ‘hands on’ techniques to produce cheeses which have been awarded gold, silver and bronze medals at the British Cheese Awards, prizes at the Nantwich International Cheese Show and Gold and Silver Medals at the World Cheese Awards & Best Cheshire, Gold, Silver & Bronze awards & The International Cheese & Dairy Awards.
Our Cheshire cheese is available in local farmers markets, direct from our farm and also by mail order. Click here to find out more.
We were delighted to win Best Cheshire at The International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2024.
It was a great honour to receive two awards at such a prestigious cheese show.

Is traditional Cheshire cheese a vanishing art? While many believe the craft has left its home county, the truth is still aging in our cellars at The Bank Farm. Discover why Bournes Cheese is officially the last traditional producer still making authentic, cloth-bound Cheshire cheese within the borders of Cheshire itself and how we’re protecting a legacy that dates back to 1750.
Our cheese is carefully hand cut so these weights are approximate
Cheshire cheese is one of the oldest cheeses known, dating back to Roman times. The Bourne family are the oldest producers in the UK that are still making this traditional cheese using old fashioned methods.
In recent times, Cheshire cheese has become slightly unpopular despite once being the most sought after across England. Larger producers starting creating thier versions & due to the more modern way of quick demand, they often sell it at quite a young age. We do not! To get a true taste of Cheshire cheese, you have to allow it the time it needs to mature & develop flavour.
Although not always the strongest business model, not rushing our cheese is what makes ours stand out. We have spent many years developing products within our range that are full of flavour & stick to what we know real Cheshire cheese to taste like.
