Cheesemaking - Back in Business |
|
Cheesemaking is set to return to its home in Hartington, Pure Magazine's Steve Caddy reports:
Cheesemakers who learnt their craft at Hartington Creamery are set to bring production back to the village.
Adrian Cartlidge and Alan Salt have joined forces with Claire and Garry Millner, who saved Hartington cheese shop from closure, to revive a village tradition stretching back to the 1870s.
They plan to make cheese in two converted barns on the outskirts of Hartington from January, with the aim of resuming production of the famous blue Stilton on the creamery site in due course.
Adrian and Alan had originally hoped to resume production not long after the creamery was closed by Long Clawson in August 2009. They approached Claire and Garry, who had bought the shop with friends Helen and Jason Kidd, as potential stockists.

NEXT year’s Buxton Festival will bear two distinctions: it will be the biggest ever, with a budget of £1.4m; it will also be the last to be masterminded by Glyn Foley.
After 14 years at the helm, Glyn is stepping down from the post of chief executive at the end of the 2012 event: “I think it’s the right time for me to move on, and for the Festival to have some new blood and new ideas,” he says.
Audiences have tripled to more than 43,000 during Glyn’s tenure and Buxton is now recognised as one of the UK’s leading arts festivals, attracting extensive national media attention.
Chairman Dame Janet Smith says: “Glyn’s contribution has been immense; he has transformed the Festival both artistically and financially. We now begin the search for a new chief executive who can build on this success.”

WORKMEN are expected to move into the Crescent early next year as work on the long-awaited £32m scheme gets under way – despite a £5m funding shortfall.
The Buxton Crescent Hotel & Spa Company is pressing ahead with the project in the belief that the funding gap – left by the disbandment of the East Midlands Regional Development Agency – will be closed in due course.
Contractors have been appointed and are on standby to start work as soon as the project’s council partners conclude the legal agreements required to allow them on site.
“We are looking to sign off the remaining agreements to allow the development to commence as soon as possible,” said a council spokesperson.
