Dorset Blue Vinny

Dorset Blue Vinny We're the only producers of the genuine Dorset Blue Vinny Cheese. Visit our Milk Vending Machine, here at Woodbridge

Dorset Blue Vinny cheese could once be found in nearly every farmhouse in the county. It was an ideal way of using the 'left-over' milk after the cream had been skimmed off for butter. As a result, the cheese had a very low fat content which was typically very hard, dry and crumbly, with little or no blue. The blueing in those days was encouraged by a number of methods; dragging mouldy horse harne

sses through the milk, storing the cheese on damp hessian bags or even next to mouldy boots. You may be relieved to know that we no longer resort to any of these methods but instead the blue is introduced by means of a blue mould solution. Today, we are the only producers of this cheese using the milk straight from our own herd of 270 Friesian Daairy cows. We combine our 300 year old traditional recipe, with some modern cheese making methods to create our beautiful, hand-made artisan Dorset Blue Vinny cheese which we all know and love.

We had the pleasure of donating cheese for the 'Tea with William Barnes' event that was held at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton at the weekend. It was a sold out event for 150 people and it sounds like they had a great time!

A new study we funded at the University of Oxford shows that having the amount of calcium in a large glass of milk every day could lower bowel cancer risk by nearly 20%.

In the largest study ever conducted on the links between diet and bowel cancer, calcium from both dairy and non-dairy sources had a similar effect.

These results help to highlight the importance of a healthy balanced diet in reducing cancer risk and supporting long-term health.

Research has found that more than half of bowel cancer cases are preventable. New findings, like this study by Oxford Population Health, are an important step towards ensuring fewer people are impacted by cancer in the future.

Amazing work from the University of Oxford πŸ’œ

🚨 Drinkers of plant-based β€˜milk' alternatives are at greater risk of depression and anxiety, according to the latest scientific research.

Moreover, people who drink semi-skimmed milk were 12% less likely to have depression and 10% less likely to be anxious. πŸ“‰

"Milk is a rich source of nutrients such as lactose, lipids, protein, and minerals, which are essential for maintaining human health."

πŸ—£οΈ "The fatty acid profile of semi-skimmed milk might provide greater cerebral [brain] protection compared to full cream milk and skimmed milk, thereby potentially reducing the risk of both depression and anxiety."
