Leicestershire cleans up at British Cheese Awards

Good news from the Leicester Mercury:
A small Leicestershire dairy has proved it really is the big cheese after scooping the top prize in a national competition.

Quenby Hall Stilton picked up the Supreme Champion title at the British Cheese Awards, despite being the smallest and newest producer of the famous blue-veined cheese.
Not only that: Long Clawson Dairy's aged Red Leicester won in the Best English Cheese category.

And don't confuse a proper farmhouse Red Leicester with the orangey wax they sell you in supermarkets. At its best it is a wonderful cheese.

    Did you know that cheese made in Stilton cannot legally be labelled as Stilton?
