Wensleydale Creamery wins several prestigous
awards

The Wensleydale Creamery at Hawes is enjoying a summer of success after winning a clutch of awards at several prestigious cheese shows.

Its most recent accolades were secured at the Nantwich International Cheese Show, where it was awarded three cups for its Real Yorkshire Wensleydale plus six gold medals, one silver, four bronzes and two highly commended.

This follows on from other recent successes including three wins at The Royal Bath and West Cheese and Dairy Show where Real Yorkshire Wensleydale achieved a first and second place and its Cheshire scored a third.

At the Cheshire Cheese Show, The Wensleydale Creamery won a gold and bronze for its Real Yorkshire Wensleydale and a silver for its Cheshire cheese.

Managing director David Hartley said: “These shows are very important to us as these awards, judged by industry specialists, help further endorse the quality and taste of our cheeses. It is a huge credit to our expert cheese makers.

“They also give us an ideal opportunity to showcase our ranges to both those within the trade and the general public.”
