About the Cheese

Introducing Scotland’s newest farmhouse cheese from one of Britain’s finest cheesemakers.

Errington Cheese, the renowned Lanarkshire producer behind Lanark Blue, crafts this raw goat’s milk cheese using the Roquefort recipe. 

The paste offers moderate creaminess and bite, while the flavour is full of nuance. Beneath its salty notes, you’ll find a nutty sweetness and rich depth.

Enjoy with red, sweet wines or stout for a perfect pairing.

Cheesemaker: Errington Cheese

The Errington family, originally from Dumfriesshire, relocated to Lanarkshire in 1981, establishing a mixed farming enterprise with beef cattle and sheep. In the 1980s, Humphrey Errington started making cheese aiming to revive the tradition of raw milk cheese in Scotland.

Today, Humphrey’s daughter, Selina Cairns, carries on the cheesemaking legacy, being one of the few in the UK to produce cheese from both sheep’s and goat’s milk.

The farm is home to around 100 goats, a mix of Saanen, Toggenburg, and Alpine breeds, whose milk is used to make Elrick Log, alongside their flock of Lacaune and Friesian sheep.
