The Rise and Rise of British Cheese

Excellent news….Another British success at the World Cheese Awards! St Giles from the High Weald Dairy in Sussex has won Best British Cheese and was voted 5th Best Cheese in the world at this year’s awards held in Gran Canaria. 150 judges from 24 countries sampled the 2440 entries before awarding 140 gold awards. These cheeses were then tasted again by a jury of experts who awarded the top awards.

Named after the village church in the village of Horsted Keynes in West Sussex, St. Giles is a semi-soft St. Paulin style cheese created by Michael Wisdom, one of the dairy’s cheesemakers. St. Giles is similar in texture and taste to a Port Salut and has a wonderful orange rind which is created by applying a carrot wash to the outside of the cheese. It is made with organic cows’milk from the farm on which the dairy is based.

Many congratulations to Mark & Sarah Hardy for creating another fabulous cheese to accompany their other highly acclaimed cheeses, Tremains Organic cheddar, and Smoked Ashdown Forester. If success was measured by how nice the producers are, these guys would have come top.
