Coombe Castle International Celebrates Belton Farm’s Triple Award Win

Coombe Castle International is proud to announce that our partner brand Belton Farm won three awards at the Los Angeles International Dairy Awards, announced last week, further reinforcing the growing success of British territorial cheeses in the U.S. market.

Belton Farm’s award-winning cheeses were:

• 🥇 Silver Fox — Best of Class Gold (Cheddar)

Coombe Castle exports Belton Farm cheeses to the United States, where they are distributed nationally by Tree of Life USA, a specialty food distributor. The awards highlight the quality, consistency, and craftsmanship behind Belton Farm’s cheeses and reflect strong U.S. demand for premium British dairy.
