Commentary
Ticklemore is made on the breath-takingly beautiful Sharpham Estate overlooking the River Dart near Totnes in South Devon. The estate comprises 500 acres of mixed farmland including pasture, vineyards, orchards, woodlands and gardens. From 1981, the18th century coachyard of Sharpham House was home to the creamery where a range of handmade cows' cheeses were produced. Made using the rich milk from the estate's own Jersey cattle and vegetarian rennet, the unpasteurised cheeses were so well received that demand far exceeded supply. In April 2003, production was moved into a new purpose-built creamery sited next to the estate's winery. The building is modern and bigger, however the team still employ the same traditional techniques and the cheeses remain fully hand-produced and free of GM ingredients. Visitors are able to view the process through windows as part of a visit to the estate. In 1998, the estate started to produce Ticklemore Goat's cheese, a product formerly made by a neighbouring cheesemaker Robin Congdon.
