A good year for awards!
2010 has been another great year for Brue Valley in the cheese and dairy shows. Our extra mature black farmhouse cheddar has just won Silver at the World Cheese Awards (we also won two bronzes!) and this comes on the back of success at the Devon County Show in May and the Royal Bath and West in June.
We also swept the board at the Great Taste Awards in May with both our butter and our cheese, gaining golds in 4 classes and a double gold for our hand rolled salted butter. We have also had success at a number of other shows – a great credit to our team here at Brue!
Meet the team
John Higdon - Head of Dairy Operations
John is our Head of Dairy Operations, responsible for making cheese and generally keeping the dairy and staff organised. Having worked with us for what he decribes as “ten backbreaking years”, John says what he loves most about his job is making cheese using the traditional methods. When he’s finished work for the day John can be found motorbiking, enjoying time by the sea with his family or drinking lager! His favourite Brue product is our Vintage Cheddar.
