Welcome to the Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland.

Scotland has a proud cheesemaking heritage, and today our artisan producers are creating a remarkable variety of cheeses that stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world. From punchy raw milk cheddars and characterful blues to creamy bries, crumbly territorial styles and exciting new innovations, our makers are united by a passion for quality and a respect for craft.

Alongside these traditional favourites, Scotland’s cheesemakers are also pushing boundaries with inventive washed rind cheeses, smoked varieties and continental-inspired styles, reflecting both our creativity and our confidence on the world stage.

The Fine Cheesemakers of Scotland was formed to bring these talented producers together, to celebrate their skills, and to share their cheeses with a wider audience. By working collectively, we can raise the profile of Scottish cheese, strengthen Scotland’s reputation for excellence, and offer trade buyers and partners an outstanding range of products that reflect our landscape, heritage and imagination.

This collaboration is made possible through the support of the Scottish Dairy Growth Board and Scotland Food & Drink, whose commitment helps us shine a brighter light on Scotland’s artisan cheesemakers. We invite you to explore our cheeses, discover their stories, and join us in celebrating everything that makes Scottish cheesemaking so special.
