Selecting and Creating Outstanding British Artisan Cheese

Rennet and Rind is a multi-award-winning cheesemonger and affineur with over 3 decades of sourcing and maturing astonishingly great artisan cheese. We source from the very best independent cheesemakers, made on the farm and lovingly aged in our maturing rooms.


At the heart of our business is a great team of people who love what they do and go above and beyond to make sure our cheese is astonishingly good and to ensure that every contact you have with us is enjoyable.


Our journey culminated with our director Perry Wakeman being crowned Britain’s first-ever winner of ‘The Affineur of the Year’ in 2022, and winning once again the following year in 2023.


But that’s not all - in September 2023, our founder Mark Hulme was inducted into the Internationale Guilde des Fromagers, the 618th Chapter of the Brotherhood of Saint Uguzon (The Patron Saint of Cheese) in recognition of Mark’s 34 years of pioneering British artisan cheese. Both Mark and Perry have also been invited to Judge at the World Cheese Awards for many years.


British Cheese Pioneers for Over 30 Years

We strive to build personal connections with our British farmhouse cheesemakers, working very closely with them to understand the challenges they face and what makes their cheese so great. We regularly visit farms to see the cheese being made and where all that wonderful flavour comes from.

Part of the Rich History of Great British Cheese

British farmhouse cheese was a rich chapter in our heritage before the 1920s. The UK was home to thousands of cheeses, but by the 1950s we were left with around 100 cheeses.


However, over the last 40 years, we’ve witnessed a cheese revolution in this green and pleasant land of ours and since ‘The Great Cheese Renaissance’ of the 1970s, we’re once again making over 1,000 named cheeses and winning more awards at the World Cheese Awards than our French cousins.

Come to our New Brick-and-Mortar Shop

Come and meet our team in the flesh as we show you samples of our collection so you can find something new, and take a selection home with you.
