The Story of Ilchester Cheese
How It All Started
The Ilchester Cheese Company began in 1962. A hotel owner named Ken Seaton lived in Ilchester, England. He had a clever idea to mix cheese with other tasty ingredients. Ken tried blending cheese with chives, a type of beer, and different spices. This new kind of cheese became very popular.
The Ilchester Cheese Company now makes and sells these unique blended cheeses.
What Kinds of Cheese Do They Make?
Ilchester Cheese Company does not make cheese from scratch. Instead, they are experts at blending different British cheeses. They mix these cheeses with exciting ingredients like beer and fruit.
