Fivemiletown Cheeses Have Gold Star Quality
July 20, 2010 | 1 min to read
Handmade cheeses from Fivemiletown Creamery have added to the Tyrone dairy's reputation for quality after winning another raft of awards in the prestigious Great Taste Awards in London.
Organised annually by the influential UK Guild of Fine Foods, the judges rated four of Fivemiletown’s cheeses worthy of gold awards in the competition which regularly attracts around 5,000 product entries from companies across the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and other parts of Europe.
Fivemiletown’s Boilie goat’s cheese pearls infused with garlic oil and handmade goat’s cheese log each received two gold stars.
Two other Fivemiletown cheeses – mature cheddar and extra mature cheddar – each gained one star.
The awards, made at the weekend are just the latest won by Fivemiletown for its speciality cheeses. It also struck gold in last year’s Great Taste awards and the International Cheese Awards, also staged in the UK.
