Produced at Britain's most northerly creamery in Kirkwall, Orkney cheddar is steeped in history and has unique qualities. The creamery was originally set up in 1946 to utilise the milk surplus which became available after the 60,000 service men and women who were drafted onto the island during the Second World War were sent home. Since its launch, Orkney cheddar has won numerous awards as it is produced using the dry stir method which gives it a deliciously creamy texture and mellow flavour.

This premium Scottish Island cheddar is available in both mature and medium and in 200g, 227g & 250g sizes. It can also be found on the deli counter.

Orkney cheddar is particularly good for cooking, due to its production method which results in less oil being released when melting. Using Orkney cheddar to cook with helps create a creamier, more flavoursome dish.
