Keen's Cheddar

Keen's: Somerset Cheddar Royalty

Keen's represents Cheddar aristocracy - one of only three remaining traditional Somerset makers producing authentic clothbound farmhouse Cheddar using methods virtually unchanged for generations. Their cheese develops extraordinary complexity through traditional make and long ageing - crystalline texture, deep nutty flavours, the distinctive tang that defines great Cheddar. Each wheel is made by hand, wrapped in cloth, and matured slowly in their Somerset stores where the Keen family's accumulated expertise guides every stage. This is Cheddar as it was meant to be, before mass production, when quality and tradition defined Somerset cheesemaking.

What distinguishes Keen's is unbroken tradition - the same family, same farm, same dedication to excellence spanning generations. Their Cheddar supplies Michelin-starred restaurants, wins major competitions, and earns reverence from cheese professionals who recognise genuine quality. Perfect for experiencing true farmhouse Cheddar at its absolute finest, or understanding why traditional Somerset Cheddar commands respect from cheese lovers worldwide. When you choose Keen's, you're tasting living history - techniques perfected over centuries, standards that never waver, quality that justifies Cheddar's legendary reputation.
