Lye Cross Farm are delighted to announce that that their unique independently Certified 100% Grass-Fed Organic Mature Cheddar has been awarded ‘Highly Commended’ by The Grocer New Product Awards.
Peter Alvis, Managing Director, says “This is fantastic news. We have achieved this as a result of hard work from all areas of the business; starting with working alongside the supplying farmers, the cheesemakers in our dairy, and the production staff in our packing hall to mention only a few of the teams involved. This is a product that we are very proud of and are glad to see it earn the recognition it deserves”.
The cows are free to roam on herb rich pastures and their diet consists entirely of grass and forage, free from any artificial fertilisers and pesticides. The end result is that our handmade 100% Grass-Fed Cheddar is rich and buttery and, because of the higher levels of beta-carotene present in the milk, is a strong yellow colour. Due to holistic farming methods and the environment in which they are managed the cows in the dairy herd have also never been treated with antibiotics.
This cheese has been certified as organic by the Soil Association, Animal Welfare approved by A Greener World, and has been certified as 100% Grass-Fed by A Greener World and the Pasture Fed Livestock Association.
