The Wye Valley grows good cheese the way other places grow good wine. The river meanders the border between England and Wales through some of the loveliest pasture in Britain - designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1971, but quietly producing fine food long before that - and the small dairies tucked into its folds have a knack for turning local milk into cheese worth crossing a county for. Wye Creamery is one of them. A small-batch cheesemaker working in the same valley as Neal's Yard Creamery, Monkland Cheese Dairy and Brookes's Wye Valley Dairy - proper company, in other words. They keep production deliberately small, sell most of what they make direct through their own shop and post the week's news to @wyecreamery on Instagram. You'll notice I've kept the detail light. That's Bryn behind Wye Creamery, like most of the best small producers we feature, I am guessing is too busy making cheese to spend much time online - which in my experience is always a good sign. I'm hoping he'll claim this listing and tell their own story, in his own words. If you've bought Wye Creamery and have something worth adding a cheese name, a market they appear at, a dish that shows them off — please send me an email to hello@producednearby.com.
