Torteval cheese-from Guernsey Island-An Introduction

A New Cheesemaker has started on Guernsey Island!

Fenella Maddison has started making Cheeses on Guernsey Island and is the only “Artisan cow and goat Cheesemaker” currently working on the Island.

She is producing cheeses under the Torteval name (the western parish of the Island) and is currently developing a blue cheese (Fort Grey) and a Camembert (Pleinmont). She is making a Curd cheese (Simple Curd) and also has plans for a Liberation cheese. She also makes a Goats cheese from a neighbours Golden Guernsey Goats which goes under their name of Tomlins.

Fenella has kindly agreed to produce a series of articles detailing the development of her business which I hope will perhaps encourage others to follow her lead.
