Isle of Mull Cheddar is a hearty Scottish Cheddar that tends to be slightly more compact than other English Cheddars but it’s still made in the time honoured way and each cheese whilst maturing is larded by hand to retain moisture within the cheese
The Reade’s family farm on the island uses its own sustainable sources to produce the energy it needs: wind, wood, and an on-site hydroelectric power plant. Their innovative heat exchange system uses heat removed from the milk in the evening to warm it back up for making cheese in the morning. They are the last remaining traditional farmhouse cheesemakers from the Hebridean Islands.
