Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland

The Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland is a collaborative group of some of Scotland’s leading artisan cheesemakers, united by a shared commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation. We represent a vibrant cross-section of the Scottish cheese scene, from long-established family businesses to pioneering organic producers - each crafting award-winning cheeses with distinct regional character and provenance.

Our members include St Andrews Farmhouse Cheese Company, The Ethical Dairy, Connage Highland Dairy, Highland Fine Cheeses, Isle of Kintyre Cheese, and Cambus O'May. Together, we offer a diverse range of artisan cheeses, spanning traditional cheddars, buttery bries, bold blues, aged hard cheeses, washed rinds and more. Whether it’s coastal terroir, mountain pastures or organic regenerative farming systems, each cheese tells a unique story of place and people.

The group was established with support from the Scottish Dairy Growth Board, Scotland Food & Drink, and our own member contributions. Our goal is to raise the profile of Scottish artisan cheese both at home and internationally - showcasing the exceptional quality, flavour, and integrity of Scotland’s dairy produce.

At the Speciality & Fine Food Fair, we’re proud to exhibit as a collective, offering buyers the chance to meet the makers, discover our full portfolio, and sample standout Scottish cheeses that combine traditional methods with modern standards of excellence. All our members use milk sourced from their own herds or trusted local farms and produce in small batches with careful attention to craft.

Whether you’re a retailer, chef, distributor or foodservice buyer, the Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland offers a compelling collection of speciality cheeses that meet the growing demand for provenance, sustainability, and artisanal quality. Many of our cheeses have won Great Taste Awards, World Cheese Awards and other national accolades, but more importantly, they continue to win the loyalty of discerning customers across the UK and beyond.

Come and experience the best of Scottish cheesemaking. From rich heritage to bold new ideas, the Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland are proud to champion the art of fine cheese.
