Before opening his first shop, partner and founder Iain Mellis had worked in the British cheese industry for almost 15 years. For some time he had felt that there was a lack of opportunity to buy high quality farmhouse cheese, both in the retail and wholesale sector. Mellis Cheesemongers have now been trading for over 25 years, bringing together producers and consumers for mutual benefit. The aim for the future is to continue this process while continually striving to improve.
