Torpenhow Organic Cheese
Award-winning cheese, made by hand in our farmhouse dairy using fresh organic milk from our single herd, pasture fed cows at Park House Farm, Cumbria.
We’re the Lee family, and we make delicious cheese by hand on our organic dairy farm.
We established the Torpenhow Cheese Company in 2019 at Park House Farm, our family farm on the northern edge of the Lake District in Cumbria.
Our aim was to turn the wonderfully rich milk from our Jersey-Friesian herd into creamy, deep flavoured organic cheese.
We converted an old hay barn just across the courtyard from our family home into a small dairy where, today, we make our beautiful cheeses.
Our organic milk changes with the seasons as it depends on which pasture our cows graze the day before. This means that each handmade cheese is unique, with a slightly varied background taste and texture.
Our Story
Our Organic Dairy Produce
Darling Howe
The pristine white rind of our British organic brie has the classic nutty flavour and surrounds a delightfully delicate, buttery soft cheese with distinctive citrus notes balancing the natural sweetness.
More
Trusmadoor
Trusmadoor has many of the characteristics typically associated with traditional Cumbrian and crumbly Lancashire cheese, and is aged for a minimum of 6-weeks in the Park House Farm barns.
More
Park House Cheddar
The creamy, close textured Park House Cheddar is mellow in character and, like all our cheese, handmade on the farm dairy using organic milk produced that day by our pasture fed herd.
More
Binsey Red
The sweet, nutty long-lasting flavour of Binsey Red lends itself well to pairing with chutneys and pickles. A firm cheese well-suited to slicing and grating or just enjoying a generous chunk on your favourite cracker.
More
Oak Smoked Cheddar
The gentle, clean smoke from oak wood chips is the perfect partner for Park House Organic Cheddar, creating a delicately balanced, creamy, full flavoured smoked cheese. Oak Smoked Cheddar has become a firm favourite amongst our customers and is a cheese that’s definitely worth waiting for.

PARK HOUSE FARM
Located just a couple of miles from the northernmost fells of the Lake District National Park, our farm is now in the safe hands of the third generation of our family. The focus of the farm has always primarily been dairy, and our single herd of Friesian-Jersey cows graze outside for over 300 days a year on a mixture of native grasses, herbs and legumes giving the cheese a unique and changing flavour throughout the year.

A Happy Herd
Since establishing the Torpenhow Cheese Company in 2019, our cheese has won a whole host of awards the length and breadth of the country.

Pasture Fed
We’re committed to the belief that grazing outdoors on natural pasture for the majority of the year results in a happy herd, and the benefits of being 100% pasture fed is something that is good for the ground, good for the cows, and good for our cheese.
