Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses
Inglewhite 1932 family-run Lancashire farmhouse cheese producer.
Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses is a farmhouse cheesemaker based in Inglewhite, Lancashire, that produces specialist British hard, blue, and soft cheeses. The company was established in 1932 and continues to operate as an independent, fourth-generation family business. Their cheese is handmade using milk sourced from their family herd and local farms located within a few miles of their dairy facility. The company emphasizes traditional cheesemaking skills combined with modern innovation, using techniques such as traditional clothbound wrapping for some varieties.
The company produces a range of cheeses including Blacksticks Blue (a contemporary farmhouse blue awarded two stars at Great Taste 2025), Parlick sheep's milk cheese, Kidderton Ash goat's cheese, Button Mill soft cheese, Beacon Blue, and several others. Many of their products have received Great Taste Awards recognition. Butlers offers both retail sales direct to consumers through their online store and trade supply to supermarkets and other retailers. They also operate a trade division and offer corporate gifting services. The company recently constructed a new cheese campus that was officially opened by King Charles III.
