There is no great history of cheese-making in Berkshire, though Reading University has latterly been a centre for research into dairying. Work carried out by the university led to the development of the recipe for Smallholder Cheese in 1911. It was specifically intended as a recipe for those wishing to make a hard cheese on a limited scale. It enjoyed some success with home cheese-makers, still being made at the end of the 1950s. In the mid-1980s, the maker of Wellington, Anne Wigmore (a microbiologist at the dairy research institute at the university) took the Smallholder recipe and developed it for use with milk from a Guernsey herd kept at Stratfield Saye, the nearby estate belonging to the Duke of Wellington.
