About us
Ehrmann Cornish Dairy is home to two well‑loved names in dairy: the Bavarian‑founder, family‑owned Ehrmann, and the family‑founded Trewithen Dairy.
With a strong heritage of innovation and a deep commitment to quality, we work closely with 40+ local Cornish farmers to source the freshest milk for our clotted cream, yoghurts, butter, and soon‑to‑be high‑protein range, as well as Grand desserts.
We produce great‑tasting, high‑quality products loved by many in Cornwall and across the UK, thanks to increased distribution in major supermarkets.
