Cheesemonger choice for August Montagnolo get 10% off from the cheesemongers this month.
I’m excited to present as our cheesemonger choice for August, where you get 10% off instore. This month is the exquisite German blue cheese, Montagnolo. A creamy German blue cheese with intricate veining.
This artisanal cheese enchants with its intricate blue veining and a wonderfully creamy texture that yields bold, yet balanced flavours—a harmonious blend of tangy, salty, and subtly earthy notes. This delightful interplay is perfectly showcased when paired with a crisp, refreshing cider.
For an unforgettable tasting experience, we recommend pairing Montagnolo with a crisp, Sheppy’s Redstreak Cider. The cider’s refreshing acidity and gentle fruitiness beautifully counterbalance the richness of the blue cheese, creating a dynamic interplay on the palate. Each sip of cider cleanses the lingering creaminess of the cheese, while the cheese itself lends depth and complexity to the cider's natural brightness.
Perfect for a leisurely afternoon indulgence or an elegant gathering, this pairing invites you to savour the nuanced character of Montagnolo alongside the invigorating charm of a quality Sheppy’s cider. Enjoy this delightful union of flavours — a true celebration of craftsmanship and taste.
Heritage
At Sheppy's it is important for us to know about our cheesemakers, who they are, their history, their story and their processes so there is a direct connection from them to you.
At our core is a selection of some of the most inspiring and exciting raw milk and pasteurised cheeses currently being made. We supply cheese made from cow, goat and sheep milk, traditional animal rennet and many vegetarian varieties. We have a range of blues, washed rinds, fresh yoghurty cheeses, young curds, soft unctuous cheeses and traditional hearty regional cheeses.
Celebrate your special occasion with cheese cake

Decorated with seasonal flowers and fruit each one is unique to your occasion.
Values aligned
Cider comes from the land, the flavour comes from the earth and the orchard where the fruit is grown. Cheese is no different, its complexity is created by the milk, the animals and the pastures themselves. Both products rely on the terrain, soil and climate of a region for their products to flourish.
We work with cheesemakers that value the quality of what they produce and whose practices sustain our environment and cultural heritage. They produce food with a story - a provenance and place.
We've been at it a while
At Sheppy's we have built fantastic relationships with many regional and European producers. Here you can see a receipt from Jon Sheppy dated 1859 for the sale of butter and cream to a local cheese producer
