The Creamery took the top spot in the Wensleydale class with Gold for its Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese, and Gold in the Smoked Cheese Class with its Naturally Oak Smoked Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese.
The real coupe for the Dales cheesemaker was winning the Best Territorial Cheese for its Yorkshire Wensleydale, beating all other territorial (regional) cheeses, such as Cheshire, Lancashire and Red Leicester, to the cup.
David Hartley, managing director of The Wensleydale Creamery, commented on the success: “We’re delighted to have been recognised with by the judges at this year’s Global Cheese Awards. It’s an honour to see our skilled team of master cheesemakers, and indeed our family of Dales farmers who keep us in good supply of locally sourced, quality milk, rewarded with these awards. It is evidence of the consistently high standard and real team effort that goes into producing every slice of authentic Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese.
“As a result, we feel that it is important for us to continue to distinguish Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese from other Wensleydale cheese on the market, so cheese lovers can be assured that they’re buying the authentic product, traditionally handcrafted with integrity in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.”
