 North Downs Dairy once again took home gold, silver and bronze for its Pilgrims Choice cheddar range at the recent World Cheese Awards, which took place at this year’s Taste of London in Regent’s Park, 15 – 18 June, 2006.
A panel of 120 cheese experts from around the globe judged a total of 1,542 cheeses and awarded Pilgrims Choice six medals in all – including two gold, three silver and one bronze for the following cheddar:
- Gold Medal Mature Block Farm Cheddar
- Gold Medal Extra Mature Block Cheddar
- Silver Medal Extra Mature Block
- Silver Medal Vintage Farmhouse
- Silver Medal Vintage Creamery Cheddar
- Bronze Medal Mature Block Farm
“Competitors from as far away as the USA, South Africa and Australia entered the awards,” said Mike Davies, Managing Director at North Downs Dairy. “Given the number of cheese entries, and the calibre of our competition, we must extend our thanks and congratulations to all of our valued suppliers for their outstanding achievements.”
“Pilgrims Choice is a major sponsor of the World Cheese Awards as it is a key forum for putting cheddar in the spotlight, for retailers and consumers. Expertly judging and awarding these categories broadens the overall appeal and appreciation of cheddar as a major player in the cheese sector,” Mike Davies explains.
Pilgrims Choice is hand-selected from the very best cheddar and owned by North Downs Dairy. Made on carefully chosen farms and creameries, it is naturally matured and then regularly monitored by the company’s team of expert graders, to ensure it is packed only when perfect to eat.
Products in the Pilgrims Choice range are classified by a helpful numbering system which describes the flavour strength, making it easy for consumers to select the right cheddar choice for their tastes.
