Chisolms of Ayr: AwardWinning Deli
Chisholms is an award winning family run delicatessen based in Historic Ayr, Scotland. We specialise in supplying the best quality international and locally sourced Scottish foodstuffs.
An original recipe of Agnes Broun, a cheesemaker from Maybole, has been resurrected by South Ayrshire dairy Barwhey’s and is fast becoming a big seller for Chisholms Delicatesen in Ayr. Agnes, who died aged 37 in seventeen ninety six, was born in Craigenton Farm, Kirkoswald, Ayrshire. She married a market gardener called William Burnes from the north east of Scotland and settled in Alloway, Ayrshire to rear 7 children, but continued to make farmhouse chedder cheese to her own recipe. We spoke to Kevin Wadsworth to find out a bit more.
