Welcome
Progress has brought us food that is cheaper, more consistent and with a longer shelf life. But at the same time this homogeneity results in bland food loaded with additives and lacking the flavour and character it had before our reliance on mass production intervened. Unfortunately, it has also made it increasingly difficult for the small, artisan producer to compete in the marketplace.
At the Ham and Cheese Company we search out the people in Italy and France that stick to centuries old traditions of production and animal husbandry to make the most delicious of their countries’ best known cheeses and cured meats. And because increased knowledge brings increased opportunity for enjoyment of food, we’ve written a website to tell you about them.
