THE CHEESEMAKERS OF CANTERBURY are now producing ASHMORE KENTISH CHEESE. The cheese is made from unpasteurised Holstein/Freisan cows milk at the newly refurbished Dargate dairy site, Lamberhurst farm near Canterbury. The farmhouse cheddar-like hard cheese is made by hand using an old smallholders recipe that has been perfected over the last 25 years. The cheese is moulded and pressed in muslin for 3 days and is then unwrapped and allowed to mature on pine shelves for at least 4 months. Each cheese is continually turned and tended during this time.
