Judges described the cheese as having “the perfect creamy texture with a good balance and colour”.

As winner of this category, Tenacres have won return flights to Turin, two nights accommodation and passed to 'Cheese' a biannual Slow Food Festival held in Bra, Italy that celebrates traditional cheese and cheese-making.

Shane Holland, Executive Chairman of Slow Food in the UK said "We were really pleased to sponsor the awards. The winner will have a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Bra Cheese Festival and we hope this will help to further extend their passion and knowledge for artisan cheese."
