Arla Foods collects 52 awards at Global Cheese Show
Arla Foods creameries have been rewarded at the Global Cheese Awards in the UK with a total of 52 awards. Arla Food’s creameries, including Taw Valley, Lockerbie, Llandrynog, Tuxford & Tebbutt, Trevarrian and produce from Denmark, all collected ribbons. Trophies included the 2014 Danisco Grand Prix Trophy, which was picked up by North Tawton-based creamery Taw Valley. It was presented in recognition for being the most consistent maker of finest quality mature cheddar.
In addition to this, Arla Foods creameries were recognised with further gold awards for whole blue Stilton and white mild cheddar, amongst others from its Tuxford & Tebbutt and Lockerbie creameries respectively. In total, Arla Foods walked away with 52 awards including two champion awards, three highly commended acknowledgments, 17 gold awards, 15 silver awards and 15 bronze awards.
Matt Walker, senior marketing cheese director at Arla Foods says, “We’re especially thrilled that one of our creameries took home the 2014 Danisco Grand Prix Trophy; this is the first time Taw Valley has won the award since 2008. All our creameries pride themselves on the quality of cheeses produced and to be recognised at another great show is a fantastic achievement. Without the dedication and expertise of our cheesemakers, winning these awards just wouldn’t be possible.”
