Sharpham Cheese has launched a new cheese created to celebrate Dartmoor National Park’s 75th anniversary. Dartmoor 75 is made with milk from Sharpham’s own Jersey herd, some of whose cows graze on Dartmoor. The launch comes in a landmark year for Sharpham Cheese as both Savour and Ticklemore were awarded three stars at the 2026 Great Taste Awards.
Dartmoor 75 is the first cheese of its style from Sharpham, which specialises in soft and semi-soft cheeses. Made with Swiss cultures and aged for at least 75 days, it has a smooth, supple texture. The curds are washed during production to retain moisture, then the cheese is matured at a slightly warmer temperature than Sharpham’s usual aging rooms to encourage a deeper flavour.
The result is a versatile cheese with buttery, grassy notes, gentle sweetness and a subtle tang.
Dartmoor 75 is available as a 225g wedge, priced at £6.95, or as a whole cheese of approximately 1.8kg, priced at £40, from www.sharphamcheese.co.uk.
Serving suggestion – Serve at room temperature on a cheeseboard with Sharpham Caramelised Fig & Sandridge Barton Pinot Noir Chutney. It also pairs well with Chardonnay or Riesling, a light Devon ale, or soft stone fruit such as peach and apricot. Its supple texture makes it particularly good for melting: try it over warm potatoes and onions, with capicollo and cornichons, for a raclette-style supper.
Greg Parsons, co-owner of Sharpham Dairy says: “Dartmoor 75 brings together our own creamy Jersey milk and a careful ageing process to create a cheese with a lovely balance of sweetness, tang and warmth. It’s at home on a cheeseboard, but it’s also a brilliant cheese to cook with.”
As the UK’s first cheesemaker to achieve B Corp certification, Sharpham Cheese believes cheese can be a force for good. Based in South Devon, the dairy makes a range of cow’s, goat’s and sheep’s milk cheeses, alongside crackers and chutneys.
Dartmoor 75 is available from good cheesemongers and delis and online at www.sharphamcheese.co.uk.
