The creameries went on to collect six silver prizes and six bronze awards, with Reece’s Cheshire cheese and Tuxford & Tebbutt’s Blue Stilton winning silver in additional categories. Lockerbie’s mild cheddar cheese also won a silver recognition while Llandyrnog Creamery in North Wales won two silver awards for its cheddars.
