Who we are

About the farm

In Otley near Leeds we handcraft sheep's milk cheese using traditional Italian methods: Mario grew up in Sardinia, moved to Yorkshire in 2001 and started out selling homemade Italian produce at Leeds farmers' markets, where Yorkshire Pecorino became the standout. We began in a small approved dairy at our home in Adel, Leeds, and today we make our cheeses in a purpose-built dairy in Otley from fresh ewes' milk bought from local farms – a farm in Harrogate, around 12 miles away – and more recently cow's milk cheeses too. We sell our multi-award-winning cheeses at four farmers' markets in Leeds and Otley and through our online shop with home delivery; you won't find them in large supermarkets.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
