PARTNER BIO & TRACEABILITY:
Located within the Oxfordshire countryside in Nettlebed, the creamery was founded in 2015 by Rose Grimond to utilise the organic milk produced by her Grandfather’s 1950s farm, less than two miles down the road in Bix!
There is a saying in farming that you ‘get big, get different or get out’. Farming is no longer an industry where you can plough on as you always have. Nettlebed decided to get different. It has since won many awards, including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, and Best Organic Cheese and Best Soft White at the British Cheese Awards.
They are very proud of their partnerships with the local community, notably with Style Acre, a charity providing support for young people with learning disabilities, and HMP Huntercombe.
Rose’s cows graze on wonderful pastures containing grass and clover leys as well as additional herbs such as chicory, plantain and yarrow. Rose believes that the quality of the pastures as well as the quality of the cows are the reason why Bix has been so successful. You really can taste the terroir of the farm in this delectable soft cheese.
Good food, beautiful countryside and respect for people underpin everything we do.
