Our story

three generations of artisinal cheese

White Lake Cheese was founded in 2004 by Roger, a third-generation farmer, on his family farm in Somerset, a farm with cheesemaking roots dating back to the 1930s.

Inspired by tradition but driven by innovation, Roger and his talented team have transformed the farm into one of the UK’s leading artisan cheese producers.

From goat’s, sheep’s, and cow’s milk - all sourced by our reliable producers, including from Roger’s own herd of French Alpine goats - White Lake creates a diverse, award-winning range of cheeses with every batch reflecting a passion for creativity, sustainability, and excellence.

"Just the best"

"I am obsessed with this cheese - excellent with pasta, of course, but on the cheese board too. Delighted to be buying English cheese and supporting our cheese makers"

Based near Glastonbury at Bagborough Farm, our facility is designed for small-batch production, allowing constant experimentation and growth.

We’ve expanded over the years to meet rising demand and recently added renewable energy solutions like solar panels and a wood boiler to support our future sustainably.

As part of our expansion project to expand our premises we have been part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. This expansion will mean that not only can we produce more beautiful cheeses, but over time we will be able to train more cheesemakers and employ more local staff.
