Made by Emily Tydeman

Stowmarket, Suffolk

Pyghtle is an old word, possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, meaning a small plot of land or small field, which appears on old maps of Broughton Hall Farm.

Emily and her husband Sam are arable farmers based in Suffolk who are interested in diversifying the output of their farm and ultimately including animals within their system. Their development of a cheese is a first step in this direction. In the meantime, they are working closely with their friends who own a small flock of sheep nearby, as well as a larger herd in Buckinghamshire that also supplies milk to other cheesemakers. As of Spring 2024, Pyghtle is one of our newest cheeses, and we are providing feedback (both from our soft cheese team and our customers) to Emily to help her refine the method and coax the best flavours from her milk supply. All of the Pyghtle that we buy comes from the milk of the smaller local flock, with whom Emily has the closest interaction on a daily basis.
