ISLE of Man Creamery scooped three awards at this year’s Global Cheese Awards, which were held at the Frome Agricultural and Cheese Show
The Manx firm’s garlic and chive mature cheddar won a Gold award, the hint of chilli mature cheddar won a Bronze award in the ‘Cheddar Cheese with Savoury Additives’ category and the oak smoked mature cheddar won Silver in the ‘Smoked Cheese – Natural’ category.
Isle of Man Creamery director Findlay Macleod said: ‘Winning Bronze, Silver and Gold awards at the Global Cheese Awards is a fantastic achievement for Isle of Man Creamery. With more than 1,200 cheese entries in the Global Cheese Awards this year, this is a true reflection of the skills of our cheesemakers and the dedication of our team here at the Creamery.’
Chairman of the Global Cheese Awards committee Nigel Pooley said: ‘The quality of the entries this year was outstanding. The marking of some categories really challenged our judges, which include national food critics as well as specialists from inside the cheese industry. This was particularly true in cheddar cheeses. I think we can honestly say that this has been a vintage year for the Global Cheese Awards.’
The Global Cheese Awards have been well known for 150 years as the ‘Frome Cheese Show’ and is one of the oldest cheese shows in Britain.
