Devon-based cheesemaker Sharpham Cheese has launched a new cheese to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Dartmoor National Park. Named Dartmoor 75, the new addition is made using milk from the dairy’s own Jersey herd, some of which graze on Dartmoor’s pastures.

The launch follows a successful year for the South Devon producer, with its Savour and Ticklemore cheeses both receiving three stars at the 2026 Great Taste Awards.

Dartmoor 75 is the first cheese of its kind from Sharpham, which specialises in soft and semi-soft varieties. Made using Swiss cultures and a washed-curd technique, the cheese is matured for a minimum of 75 days at a slightly higher temperature than the dairy’s usual ageing rooms. The process helps retain moisture while developing a deeper flavour and a smooth, supple texture.

The finished cheese offers buttery, grassy notes with a gentle sweetness and subtle tang. Its versatility makes it suitable for cheeseboards as well as cooking, particularly in melted dishes such as raclette. Suggested pairings include Chardonnay, Riesling, light Devon ales and stone fruits such as peaches and apricots.

Greg Parsons, co-owner of Sharpham Dairy, said: “Dartmoor 75 brings together our own creamy Jersey milk and a careful ageing process to create a cheese with a lovely balance of sweetness, tang and warmth. It’s at home on a cheeseboard, but it’s also a brilliant cheese to cook with.”

Sharpham Cheese was the first UK cheesemaker to achieve B Corp certification and produces a range of cow’s, goat’s and sheep’s milk cheeses, alongside crackers and chutneys.

Dartmoor 75 is available in 225g wedges for £6.95 or as a whole cheese weighing approximately 1.8kg for £40. It can be purchased through selected cheesemongers and delis or directly from Sharpham Cheese’s website.
