Opening a Cheese-Shop … For Dummies

This guest blog series is by Andy Swinscoe, who recently opened The Courtyard Dairy in North Yorkshire, England.


Part One - choosing the right place


I wanted a cheese shop. Somewhere where I could sell the best cheese and mature/refine it as well.

But I couldn’t find where to locate it. To return to the north of England was the idea, if only to cut down on the refrigeration bills, but the north of England is not full of plentiful affluent suburbs like the home counties, full of people who would buy the cheese I wanted to sell.

Hello My Name Is... Ben LaCloche

Coach Farm is searching for a name for its new raw aged goat's milk cheese. Several bloggers received samples of the cheese so they could taste and describe it for our readers. Today's post comes from eight-year-old Ben LaCloche of Ben's Food Reviews.


At first sight, this white as snow cheese looked like a brie. When sliced it felt like an aged cheddar. Day one tastes: complex, tangy like a blue, salty and classic goat cheese taste. Texture: crumbly, dry, easy young rind. Day two brought about similar flavors, but the blue lessened. I think it would pair well with fresh fruit, preserves or on a salad. This cheese would be great on a spring or summer cheese board.

My idea for a name is Bianco Capra (white goat).

It is my complete honor to describe the first raw milk cheese from Coach Farm to you! But first, who am I and why should you listen to me? My name is Nicole, a.k.a. the Queso Queen. A true curd nerd: I have a second part-time dream job at a local cheese shop. You can trust me. Although I may chèvre too many cheese puns on my Facebook page for your liking. Maybe I can wedge in a few more here…

When a box of cheese arrives at your doorstep, an average day gets upgraded to first-class - especially when it’s Culture Magazine sending you new cheese from Coach Farm. Earlier this month, I was selected by Culture Magazine during their Hello My Name Is...Blogger Contest to write about a new cheese. For this particular contest, they sent me a shipment of Coach Farm goat cheese, including a brand-new variety of raw goat’s milk cheese.
