'Un-brie-lievable!' - Telford food manufacturer Bridge Cheese bags hat-trick of cheese awards
A Shropshire food manufacturer was celebrating after bagging a hat-trick of awards for its delicious dairy products.
Telford-based cheese firm Bridge Cheese struck gold three times at this year’s prestigious International Cheese and Dairy Awards, taking home a total of five awards across a range of innovative cheese products.
The company was recognised for its excellence in product quality and innovation at the world-renowned event held on June 25 at the Staffordshire County Showground.
The awards celebrate the very best in global cheese and dairy, with more than 5,000 entries judged by industry experts.
The firm took gold for its mature white cheddar, garlic and chive ropes - and bagged the top prize in the "longest cheese stretch" category for its mozzerella.
Bridge Cheese’s trademark pizza cheese achieved an impressive stretch, demonstrating its exceptional quality and functionality for food manufacturers and pizza businesses.
Managing director Michael Harte said the awards reflected the company’s commitment to consistent quality, responsiveness, and flexibility in delivering cheese solutions tailored to customer needs.
"These awards are a huge achievement for our team," he said.
"Each product reflects the hard work and dedication of everyone at Bridge Cheese, from development to production. We’re proud to see our innovations recognised on such a respected global stage and we’re only just getting started."
Stafford Park-based Bridge Cheese employs around 80 people at its Telford headquarters.
Established in 2018, the company specialises in supplying cheese and dairy products to the food manufacturing and bakery, food to go, pizza, and wholesale sectors.
