About Cropwell Bishop Creamery

Cropwell Bishop Creamery, situated in Nottinghamshire, England, is a family-run business with a history dating back to 1847. Renowned for producing Stilton cheese, the creamery operates within the specific geographic confines permitted to legally create this iconic blue cheese.


The creamery has modernized facilities which blend traditional cheesemaking methods passed down through generations with contemporary standards for hygiene and cheese maturation. The Skailes family, who have managed the creamery for three generations, emphasize traditional production techniques and strong community ties, employing many locals and sourcing milk from nearby family-run farms.


This commitment to quality and community has earned Cropwell Bishop Creamery numerous accolades, including the Midlands and East Anglia Family Business of the Year award in 2013 and recognition at the British Cheese Awards.
