For those who believe Christmas isn’t complete without cheese, Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses delivers a seasonal selection that’s as indulgent as it is proudly British.

This fourth-generation Lancashire cheesemaker, founded in 1932, has long championed traditional techniques with a modern twist—crafting award-winning hard, soft and blue cheeses using milk from its own herd and neighbouring farms.

The 2025 festive gifting hamper is a showstopper. Weighing in at 2kg and priced at £65 plus delivery, it includes six standout cheeses alongside Hawkshead Relish Cheeseboard Chutney and two packs of Fine Cheese Co. Virgin Olive Oil & Sea Salt Crackers. It’s a ready-made cheeseboard that feels curated, generous and celebratory.

Inside, you’ll find a mix of textures and flavours: the creamy, mellow Blacksticks Blue (a two-star Great Taste Award winner); the rich and nutty Ravens Oak goat’s cheese; the buttery Button Mill; the bold Rothbury Red; the earthy Kidderton Ash; and the classic Tunworth, a soft cheese revered by chefs and food critics alike. Each cheese brings something different to the table, from punchy blue notes to delicate floral finishes.

Presentation is rustic yet refined, with cheeses wrapped and boxed for easy gifting. Whether you’re sending to clients, colleagues or hosting a festive gathering, this hamper makes an impression. It’s also available for nationwide delivery direct from the dairy via butlerscheeses.co.uk, making it a practical choice for corporate gifting.

What sets Butlers apart is its commitment to flavour and provenance. These aren’t mass-produced blocks—they’re handcrafted cheeses with character, made in small batches and matured with care. The addition of chutney and crackers elevates the experience, turning the hamper into a full tasting journey.

In short, Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses has created a festive gift that’s thoughtful, delicious and distinctly British. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community and culinary joy—perfect for those who want to gift something with heart, heritage and a whole lot of flavour.
