Helford White cheese has just won a prestigious Gold Award at the British Cheese Awards held on Saturday 24^th  September 2011 at the Awards Dinner held in Cardiff City Hall.

 

 

Alastair Rogers & Bernadette Newman, who own and run Treveador Farm, which is situated on farmland that runs down to the banks of the Helford River & the famous Frenchmans Creek, are delighted with the news. 

 

It was in the year 2000 that Alastair first considered cheesemaking, but not until 2006 when he met Bernadette that they began to establish the idea. Production began in a small way with the help of their local outlets and friends who kindly became their guinea pigs! Thanks to their encouragement and demand production has grown and is now established throughout Cornwall and into Devon.

 

 

Helford White is a soft white cheese with a tangy flavour. Rind washed to create an apricot/pink edible rind, it is also a complimentary addition to the wedding table and the Ploughman's Lunch.

The milk used for their cheeses, Blue Horizon and Helford White, is provided by the Holstein Friesian cow herd established by Alastair?s father in the 1950?s which was then passed on to Alastair in the 1970?s and is now run by Alastair?s eldest son, Jonathan.
