Belton will dispatch the Shropshire Blue cheese to retailers around Russia. This is the latest international success for the company, which earlier this year announced that its Red Fox cheese brand would be distributed in the US via Anco.
“This is fantastic news,” said Justin Beckett, Belton Cheese MD, “and it’s difficult to convey just how happy we are to see our products reach such distant markets in quick succession. It is the ultimate testament to the products we develop.”
The export deal means increasing international demand has helped Belton’s export business, which is growing year on year, with a 13% increase in sales in the US alone.
