Westcombe dairy is run by the Calver's of Evercreech and it is without doubt one of the great cheeses of the Westcountry.
In the early 1990s Tom's father was forced to take a long, hard look at cheese making production. The Westcombe factory required dramatic refurbishment if it was to continue being competitive. Instead, the Calvers opted to step out of the competition altogether and venture into a niche market. The Westcombe factory was pulled down and a purpose built dairy, designed for the Somerset artisan cheddar maker took its place. 
Esteemed professional cheese maker Bob Bramley was head hunted from another cheddar business and a new era began at Westcombe Dairy.
With the help of Bob Bramley, Tom and his father have become devoted to traditional cheddar making. 'Each cheese is a work of art,' Tom enthuses, 'The funny thing is there isn't really a secret recipe. Making cheese is like making wine; everyday is a new vintage.
