Awards success for Milk Link at Great Yorkshire Show



Milk Link, the UK’s leading farmer-owned dairy co-operative and largest cheese manufacturer, collected 15 awards at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show, including the prestigious Danisco Grand Prix prize for Welsh-based Llandyrnog Creamery’s Finest Mature Cheddar.

In addition to the top prize, Milk Link won six other gold awards. Devon’s Taw Valley Creamery received three gold awards for its JS Special Reserve Red Leicester, Waitrose Mature Cheddar, and Waitrose Extra Mature Cheddar. Lockerbie Creamery, in Dumfriesshire, Scotland won for its medium cheddar and salted butters. Meanwhile, Lockerbie’s unsalted butters were awarded both gold and silver in their category.

Taw Valley continued its success with silver awards for its M&S Double Gloucester and Tickler Extra Mature Cheddar. Leicestershire-based Tuxford & Tebbett Creamery’s Stilton was also awarded a silver prize.

Milk Link received four bronze awards, including a runner-up for the Danisco Grand Prix.

The results delighted the Chief Executive of Milk Link Neil Kennedy who said: ’The acknowledgement here at The Great Yorkshire Show is a credit to our expert cheese makers. Their flair, dedication and skills continue to deliver the exceptional taste and quality of our products. I am extremely proud of the success of our Creameries.’
