Cheese Producers

Leagram Organic Dairy

This little dairy takes us back to the first place Lancashire cheese was made commercially. All brought together by the expertise of Robert Kitching and his family.

Set in beautiful countryside in the picturesque village of Chipping, Leagram Organic Dairy produces award-winning cheese. Products range from native Lancashire - creamy, crumbly and tasty- to a mild cheddar, a buttery Double Gloucester, a smooth Red Leicester and finally a creamy, unique sheep’s cheese, using local sheep’s milk from a nearby farm. All county varieties are produced under organic standards to the highest quality but are still made in the traditional way - by hand and all of them are waxed.

As this dairy is small, different varieties can be created. Its newest creation is a Lancashire soft cheese, similar to feta but sweeter.

With 30 years experience Robert Kitching has also created a dairy for visitors to see how cheese is made today and a museum to see how cheese used to be made.
