The North Downs Farmhouse range is accredited with the protected designation of origin (PDO) symbol, meaning the product is produced in the traditional way, handmade on a farm, within the West Country. Once produced, all cheeses are regularly monitored by the North Down graders, who hand select each cheddar to ensure consistency and flavour in every pack.
