LAKE DISTRICT CHEESE COMPANY TOPS MORE THAN FIVE MILLION

 

More than five million packs of the award-winning Lake District Cheese Company cheddar have now been sold across Britain.

Sales of the award-winning cheddar are close to doubling since June and the brand is set to enjoy even greater success, having moved to national availability across ASDA stores this week.

The range of Lake District Cheese Company cheddars is now available nationally in both Morrisons and ASDA, along with northern listings in Tesco, Somerfield, Waitrose and Booths, as well as strong availability in independent stores and farm shops throughout Cumbria.

Creamery Manager, Andrew Pearson, said his team was delighted at hitting the five million pack target, but were hungry for more.

“Moving our Lake District Cheese Company brand nationwide into Morrisons and ASDA gives us a platform to promote our cheddar-making excellence to the nation.

“Each of our 81 employees and 350 Cumbrian producers who supply the creamery have played their part in all of our triumphs this summer and the strong team spirit between farmers and the creamery will help us grow even further.”

The Lake District Cheese Company is owned by dairy farmer co-operative First Milk
