Research Project - The Artisan Cheese Culture of the West Country
The main aim of this PhD research project is to investigate the culture of artisan cheese makers, in particular the ideology of the cheese makers and how it impacts on their production methods and choice of product. It also seeks to identify and more deeply understand how artisan cheese production is embedded in the regional identity of the rural South West as an area traditionally associated with dairy and small scale speciality food manufacturing.

"This project came about due to the student contacting us about research at an advanced postgraduate level. It has enabled the School to build on and enhance its research provision."
