We’re very proud to share that Beech Wood has won a gold medal at the 2025 International Cheese & Dairy Awards (ICDA) – the world’s largest showcase of outstanding cheese and dairy, which has just celebrated its 128th year. With more than 5,000 entries in the running, this is one of the highest honours in the cheese world.
The judges loved our mature Cheddar, naturally smoked over beechwood by our cheese experts in our dedicated smokery. Sweet and delicately smoky, it has a mellow warmth and an aroma reminiscent of crackling campfires – a flavour profile that’s as complex as it is comforting.
Butter-yellow and smooth, this handcrafted cheese is delicious simply served with crusty bread and a drizzle of our new Hot Honey, or paired with a dry cider on a summer’s evening. And if you’re firing up the barbecue? It melts beautifully in our Ultimate Cheeseburger or pulled pork tacos.
Want a taste of gold? Order a truckle of Beech Wood now or try it in one of our luxury cheese hampers.
