Named after the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs in East Sussex, this is a buttery and unctuous semi-soft sheep’s milk cheese, coated in a layer of nutritious seaweed, sustainably harvested on the Hebridean coastline. Bold, but beautifully balanced, Seven Sisters is a perfect introduction to High Weald Dairy.

As summed up by owner and cheesemaker, Mark Hardy: “There’s a sort of nutty saltiness which balances with the buttery sheep’s milk cheese. It’s quirky, eye-catching and sustainable, but most importantly it works really well.”
