Orkney Cheese Company produces cheddar and butter at its creamery in Kirkwall. Its cheddar is made with milk collected from Orkney farms and uses the dry-stir method associated with the island's cheese-making tradition. The range includes medium, mature and extra mature cheddar, alongside traditional farmhouse butter.
The business traces the creamery's roots to 1946, when increased wartime milk production led to the creation of a local cheese operation. Production moved to the current Crowness Road site in 2001, giving the company a purpose-built base for modern dairy processing while retaining its established recipe and methods.
Orkney Cheddar holds Protected Geographical Indication status, linking the product to its place of production. The company supplies retailers and food customers beyond the islands as well as serving the local market. Its website provides product details, recipes and background on the farms supplying milk to the creamery.
