We now wax our East Lee and Garlic East Lee cheeses in Black and Yellow wax respectively.  This not only improves the

appearance of the cheeses, it also extends the shelf life and promotes further maturing within the wax.

We had the pleasure of welcoming HRH, The Princess Royal to Pextenement Cheese Company this week.  The visit lasted for two hours and consisted of a tour of the Cheese Making Premises, and part of the farm to see some of the animals.  The Princess then chatted with a number of guests assembled in the Farm House, before leaving to visit another part of West Yorkshire.  Click for more details....

And the winner of the Yorkshire Life Magazine Food and Drink Awards "Best Local Producer" goes to Pextenement Cheese Company.  Carl was presented with a plate and a rather large bottle of Champagne at a glittering ceremony in Harrogate.  Tom Rennolds, a former MasterChef finalist is pictured presenting the award.  Click for more details....

www.pextenement.co.uk has been completely re-designed.  The recent bad weather has given us a little time to completely revisit the format of the website.  Hopefully you will find the layout clearer and the content more relevant to what we are doing at the moment.  The emphasis is now on the products that are currently available and where you can purchase them.

Also, we've added more ways of keeping in touch with us: subscribe to the Newsletter; write comments to the Guestbook; or simply comment on the Blog.  All within easy access from the home page.
