Errington Cheese’s farm is based in South Lanarkshire, at the foot of the Pentland Hills, around 1000ft above sea level. It is comprised of 300 acres of stunning mixed grazing and arable land, where almost all of the animal’s food is homegrown. The farm currently grow 60 acres of barley and 100 acres of silage and hay. With the climate limitations in Scotland, they really focus on growing the very best quality silage and hay for their ewes. The ewes, as well as their 100 goats, are free to roam outdoors in the spring and summer but have safe barns to live in during the late autumn and winter.
All of the cheese at Errington Cheese is made by hand and then matured in their traditional farm buildings. They have thick stone walls and ensure a very high humidity, which is ideal for ageing the cheeses.
Elrick Log was inspired by the French Charente Poitou styles of cheese and is named after nearby village Esrickle.
