A SUPERMARKET won 23 Gold Medals at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards.

Family-owned food drink retailer Booths has won 23 gold medals at the International Cheese Awards held at the Staffordshire Show Ground, Stafford.  

The Northern food and drink retailer celebrates its 175th year in business this summer and remains respected for its wide range of artisan and speciality cheeses sourced from cheesemakers across the UK and the continent. 

Amongst the gold medal-winning cheese were Booths Brand cheeses including Booths Traditional Creamy and Crumbly Lancashire, Organic Stilton, and Booths PDO Farmhouse Cheddar.

Booths were also named Best Cheddar Cheese Retailer of the Year for the 3rd year running, showing a lasting commitment to retailing quality artisan and territorial cheeses.       

Booths Cheese Buyer Alan Kirby said “We’re incredibly proud of the cheese we sell and delighted with our gold medals at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards. 

"Booths have a great tradition of retailing superlative cheeses from suppliers who truly care about craft and quality.”

“The first EH Booth endeavoured to sell the very best good available served by first-class assistants and 175 years later we stick to this tried and tested formula. 

"We choose the very best cheese to sell, but that’s just part of our excellence, our team of highly trained cheese counter staff help keep our cheese in top condition and give expert recommendations and friendly service.”
