About
The story
Deep in the Blackmore Vale, at Woodbridge Farm near Sturminster Newton, one of Dorset's great food stories quietly continues. Dorset Blue Vinny — a crumbly, blue-veined cheese made from skimmed cow's milk — was once nearly lost to history, and its survival here feels like a small triumph for tradition. This is a working dairy farm, not a polished tourist attraction, and that is precisely its charm: proper cheese, made properly, in the county it belongs to. For anyone who loves food with genuine provenance, seeking it out at source is a pilgrimage well made.
