29/09/09 - QUENBY HALL STILTON CROWNED "A KING AMONGST CHEESES" AT BRITISH CHEESE AWARDS 2009

Stilton from Quenby Hall, Leicestershire – the newest and smallest producer of the famous cheese - took the prestigious accolade of ‘Supreme Cheese Champion’ at the British Cheese Awards in Cardiff last week.

 

The 2009 awards saw 884 entries from 189 British Cheesemakers, which represents about 70% of the industry.

 

Freddie de Lisle, today’s owner of Quenby Hall who re-started production of the famous blue cheese at the dairy in 2005, said: “I've been eating Stilton all my life, and I decided if I was going to make it I was going to make it properly."

 

We can safely say he’s done just that - well done Quenby Hall!
