Anster is a traditional, hand-made cheese produced by the St Andrews Farmhouse Cheese Company. Named after the local term for the nearby town of Anstruther, Anster cheese is crafted using unpasteurized milk from the farm’s own herd of Holstein Friesian cows.


This cheese typically has a crumbly texture and a tangy, lemony flavor, characteristics that develop during its maturation period. The St Andrews Farmhouse Cheese Company, owned and operated by Jane Stewart and her family, emphasizes sustainable farming practices and artisanal cheese-making techniques.
