What great recognition by International Cheese & Dairy Awards for Cave Dweller.

Winning the Capital H Challenge Cup for Best Soft, semi Soft or Cream Cheese with Cave Dweller is a huge moment for The Rennet Works — especially for a cheese made in such tiny numbers.

So, what is Cave Dweller?

That’s part of the point.

A lactic-set geo rind dome around 75g made with pasteurised Jersey milk and produced in batches of just 30 cheeses Cave Dweller is super soft, wrinkled, rich and mysterious, it glistens and forces you to ask questions — the kind of cheese that stops a board from being ordinary.

The rind brings depth.
The Jersey milk brings the luxury.
The image creates questions.

Best eaten with sharp fruits, a zesty white wine and a curious mind, let it become the talking point.

Cave Dweller.
Rare by design.

This year is turning out to be another special one.

I had the privilege of judging at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards — standing alongside makers, producers and industry people whose standards I respect deeply.

And then, for The Rennet Works to be recognised so profoundly made it even more meaningful.

Cave Dweller took Gold and the Capital H Challenge Cup for Best Soft Cheese.

Pixie Lemon Bomb took Runner Up for Best New Dairy Product

Pixie Honey Bomb took Gold.

Shropshire Knight, Pixie Lemon Bomb, Pixie Blossom Herb and Hallouminati all took Silver.

These cheeses are made by hand, no machinery, in small micro batches, with no factory line and no shortcuts. Just milk, time, risk, craft and obsession.

Bespoke and Rare cheese. Made properly.

Always pre order only.

Fully handmade. No machinery. No shortcuts.

Made in tiny 16kg batches, Shropshire Knight is one of the rarest blue cheeses in the UK — crafted slowly, by hand, using rich Jersey milk enriched with cream.

The result is a decadent soft blue: bold, salty, spicy and deeply indulgent, with the spirit of Roquefort but a character entirely its own.

Recognised with major British and World Cheese Awards accolades, including Best Blue, Super Gold, Gold and Silver.

Rare cheese. Made properly.

The Rennet Works is evolving, welcome all.

A new brand for TRW small-batch British cheese, built around the same obsession with flavour, craft, rare makes and art.

Still handmade.
Still bespoke.
Still driven by the cheesemaker’s eye, not mass production.

The future of The Rennet Works begins here.

New mark. Same obsession.

Tightening down detail to create the highest sensory impact.

Commission Pixie for that special occasion or cheeseboard. Fresh, seasonal and beautifully presented, these little works of art are bright, zesty and delicately fresh, flavoured with chive and finished with a rosemary flower.

I’m absolutely delighted with the results, thank you The British & Irish Cheese awards.

Project Blue X2 is the next evolution of Shropshire Knight. Following its Best Blue win at the British & Irish Cheese Awards 2025, the cheese has been pushed further still — Aged, refined, intensified and fine-tuned to deliver an even more powerful blue character. Its enhanced culture profile has now been successfully developed and will be incorporated into the magnificent Shropshire Knight, elevating an award-winning cheese to a new level.
