Ivy's Reserve

Ivy’s Reserve: Premium Provenance, Unmatched Quality

Ivy’s Reserve is the flagship range from Wyke Farms, crafted to meet the expectations of discerning consumers seeking premium, sustainable dairy. Named after Ivy Clothier, the grandmother of the current generation of cheesemakers, this range embodies over 160 years of Somerset cheesemaking heritage and is designed to stand out on the shelf for both quality and story.

Ivy’s Reserve Vintage Cheddar is a multi-award-winning cheese matured for up to 18 months under wood. It delivers a rich, complex flavour profile—creamy and nutty with a long, rounded finish and a signature crunch from naturally occurring calcium crystals. Made using Ivy’s original recipe and traditional methods, this cheddar is crafted from milk sourced within a 30-mile radius of the farm, ensuring freshness and traceability. It is the world’s first carbon neutral cheddar, produced using 100% green energy generated on-site from farm and dairy waste. This sustainability story resonates strongly with eco-conscious shoppers and supports your ESG commitments at the point of sale.

Ivy’s Reserve Salted Farmhouse Butter complements the cheddar with its indulgent, golden richness. Made from a blend of sweet and whey cream, it is churned slowly in a single churn to replicate traditional farmhouse methods. The result is a smooth, mellow butter with a cultured flavour and creamy texture that spreads beautifully. Like the cheddar, the butter is carbon neutral and made using 100% renewable energy, offering a consistent sustainability message across the range.
