A Portrait of British Cheese

Photographer and writer Angus D. Birditt has visited and documented dairies all over the British Isles, looking at the food, people and landscapes of artisan and farmhouse cheeses. From Lincolnshire Poacher to Stichelton (the original Stilton), Britain's own Brie in the form of Baron Bigod from Suffolk, to Brefu Bach sheep's milk cheese from Snowdonia and Appleby's Cheshire cheese from the heart of rural Shropshire, this is a unique journey in photos, essays and recipes which reveals the joys and challenges of a life in cheesemaking.
