The Cornish Cheese Company has launched its latest creation, Dozmary, a bold new soft cheese that aims to capture the attention of the speciality food market.

This new cheese combines artisan craftsmanship with local ingredients, reflecting the rich heritage and landscape of Cornwall.

Named after the legendary Dozmary Pool on Bodmin Moor – said to be the final resting place of King Arthur's sword, Excalibur – Dozmary embodies a strong connection to its Cornish roots.

The cheese is positioned as a more robust evolution of the company’s well-regarded Cornish Camembert, showcasing the brand's commitment to quality and local provenance.

Crafted from locally sourced milk, Dozmary is matured to achieve a rich, buttery paste that features vegetal aromas and a luxuriously oozy texture.

This results in a cheese that is not only full-flavoured and complex but also deeply rooted in the West Country’s storied cheesemaking tradition.

Although still in development, Dozmary made a significant impact at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2025, where it was awarded Supreme Champion in the Speciality Cheese Class.

Ben Stansfield, head of sales and marketing at the Cornish Cheese Company, said: “We thought we had something special with Dozmary, but to be recognised on such a global stage so early on was a real honour. This cheese represents years of hard work, experimentation and a deep respect for our local ingredients and landscape.”

Dozmary is presented in a distinctive 250g round format, beautifully packaged in a wooden box, and is priced at a recommended retail price of £7.50.

It is now available to specialist retailers, cheesemongers and fine food stockists across the UK, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to enhance their gourmet cheese offerings.

The introduction of Dozmary comes at a time when the demand for high-quality, locally sourced food products is on the rise.
