Campbeltow­n Creamery whipped up a gold and silver at the Internatio­nal Cheese Awards in Cheshire. The Creamery, owned by First Milk, beat off hundreds of entries to win a gold for its extra mature cheddar, as well as a silver award for its smoked cheese in the Naturally Smoked Cheese class. The recent competitio­n at the Nantwich show attracted more than 5,000 entries. Campbeltow­n was given an honourable tribute of Best Scottish Cheese In Show of any variety and the creamery was also highly praised in the Best Scottish Cheese section. Throughout the duration of the five-hour long event, a total of 5,183 competitor­s were judged by approximat­ely 300 experts. First Milk CEO Shelagh Hancock said: ‘The Internatio­nal Cheese Awards are a celebratio­n of the very best cheesemake­rs and dairy producers from around the world. ‘With thousands of entries, only the very best cheese in each category receives an honour, so for our Campbeltow­n Creamery to come away with five awards is an exceptiona­l achievemen­t.’
