Highland Fine Cheeses is the home of the award-winning Morangie Brie and Strathdon Blue. Starting with a batch of Crowdie in the bathtub, the Stone family has been making traditional cheeses since the 1950’s. Today, under the vision of Rory Stone, a man with a passion for ‘smelly little things’, our focus is on mould ripened and washed rind styles, developing world-class creamy cheeses with quirky names like Minger and Fat Cow.

Community and sustainability are at the root of our ethos as we strive to create jobs and stand out from the crowd by producing the highest quality cheese and butter. We work closely with the Highland farmer to encourage and increase flourishing dairies where the traditional breeds are free-roaming and grass-fed.

We proudly present you with our unique collection of artisan cheeses: Skinny Crowdie, Black Crowdie, Caboc, Morangie Brie, Highland Brie, Minger, Fat Cow, Blue Murder, Strathdon Blue and Tain Cheddar. Simply enjoy them with a bottle of wine in the company of friends or try some of our specially created recipes found on our website. With a dash of global inspiration, you can put a cheesy spin on some fi ne-dining and home-cooked favourites.

What do you do at the Cress Company?
I’m responsible for overseeing the warehouse operation in conjunction with a team of shift supervisors.

What do you enjoy when not working?
I love spending quality time with my family. I’m a big Arsenal fan, so you’ll often find me cheering them on. I also enjoy taking leisurely walks with my partner, little boys Jaxon and Mason, and our newest family member Lucy, our fluffy cockapoo puppy.

If you could choose any product from the Cress brochure, what would it be & why?
I’d choose the Gingerbread House Kit from Treat Kitchen, as it was great fun doing it with my kids last year, and tasted so good.

Favourite film of all time?
The Rocky films. I love Rock Balboa’s underdog story and iconic training montages.

Who would be your 3 fantasy dinner party guests?
I would choose Arsene Wenger because I’m a huge Arsenal fan. He’s a legendary manager who had a massive impact on the club. I’d choose Ronaldinho because he’s one of the most skilled and entertaining footballers of all time. And finally, Jessica Alba, as it wouldn’t hurt to have a beautiful woman at the dinner table.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
To view my mistakes / failures as opportunities to grow.

What would be your last supper?

Sustainable Transport - Nov

We recently participated in Renault Trucks’ "On Track Experience" in Lyon, France, showcasing the latest in sustainable transport solutions. The event included workshops on electric trucks, hydrogen fuel possibilities by 2030, and challenges for operators in remote areas.

We had the chance to drive fully loaded (operating at maximum gross weight) electric trucks on a test track, and preview the new Master van, which will be coming to our fleet in 2025. We also toured the manufacturing plant, witnessing trucks being built and customised.

This experience highlighted Renault’s commitment to cutting-edge technology, helping us stay ahead in sustainable distribution.
