In this episode, Sam and Anna sit down with Jamie Montgomery, the third-generation maker behind the world-famous raw milk Montgomery’s Cheddar.

From stories of childhood games in the Court to honest reflections on farming, flavour, risk and succession, this episode goes straight to the heart of British farmhouse cheese.

From cleaning wheels in her grandmother’s shop to creating Rispens sheep’s milk Gouda and pairing aged cheese with tea, Betty champions honesty, terroir and real Dutch flavour.
