Lye Cross Farm are able to add another award to our early season success, this time from the British Cheese Awards held at the Royal Bath and West. From the hundreds of cheeses entered we were selected by the judges to have won Bronze for our PDO Farmhouse Mature Cheddar. PDO stands for Protected Designation of Origin, and our cheese carries this status because it is traditionally manufactured from start to finish in the West Country.

Earlier this month we were fortunate to be included in a wine, meat and cheese tasting event hosted by Jill Morris, HM ambassador in Rome. Amongst other guests were HM The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall.
The event was designed to promote PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) food produced here in the West Country. Our Cheddar Cheese holds PDO status and it was an honour for us to be included.
For more information, please read this ADHB press release.
