Set in the British Isles in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is a proud nation of 80,000 inhabitants.
Our Creamery is at the very heart of the Isle of Man community. We are a cooperative of family owned dairy farms, whose farm-assured herds supply the purest milk – farm fresh.
About the FarmersPeople have always been at the heart of Isle of Man Creamery, from Harvey Briggs the wonderful nonagenerian whose mother Gladys Davis was the first commercial cheesemaker, to our dairy farmers and colleagues like Paul Fargher [shown right], who remain part of Isle of Man Creamery today and make it a very special place to work.
The Isle of Man has been producing milk and making cheese for centuries, with stories going way back to the time of the Vikings. However, our story really starts back in 1919 almost a century ago.
During the many decades that have passed since the first milk and cheese were produced, the Creamery has had a long tradition of family employment, with skills proudly passed down from generation to generation to produce the finest tasting milk, cream, butter and of course our award winning cheese.
Even today our current master cheesemaker learned his skills, passed down from his father, who was the master cheesemaker before him – it’s perhaps here that the Creamery principle of ‘generations of skill and care’ is rooted.
Isle of Man Creamery has a powerful story to tell, a story that is built on real people, a story that is authentic and true, and a story to be proud of.
