West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers steal show at Bath & West

The rain certainly didn't put a dampener on the success of our cheesemakers on the opening day at the Royal Bath & West Show as we picked up an incredible 50 awards between us! There were hundreds of entries in an international line-up which included cheeses from France, Greece and Italy, making the Bath & West one of the top British cheese events. Nevertheless, dedication, tradition and the best milk in the world made sure handmade West Country Farmhouse Cheddar came out on top.
