Picture Mandy Jones A FARMER-owned creamery is celebrating after its tasty Double Gloucester cheese scooped a gold award and went on to be crowned the best cheese in Wales. South Caernarfon Creamery’s double triumph came at the prestigious 2021 Virtual Cheese Awards where they competed against the best cheesemakers from across the UK. The glittering awards ceremony was hosted by TV and radio food broadcaster and all-round local artisan food champion Nigel Barden. The 13-strong judging panel included MasterChef winner Druv Baker; founder of the Academy of Cheese, Tracey Colley; and Marks and Spencer cheese buyer Chris Dawson.
MILK from cows reared on the green grass of North Wales just got even greener as a leading dairy bagged a top environmental accolade. Pwllheli-based South Caernarfon Creameries has achieved Level Three on the Welsh Green Dragon standard after a year of impressive improvement in its campaign to reduce its carbon footprint. That has seen the award-winning company achieve major reductions in its use of electricity, water and oil as well as cutting waste and ensuring that much of the waste that is produced is turned into energy. Company Secretary Elwyn Jones has headed up SCC’s drive to save the planet by every means possible from buying new, more energy efficient lorries for its milk tanker fleet to reducing the amount of cheese that hits the floor during production and packaging.
