(From Western Daily Press)
A Small family-run Somerset firm which creates cheeses with unusual flavours is celebrating its first exports to North America, thanks to a deal with one of the West's leading food exporters.
Business Reporterj.rosseinsky@bepp.co.uk The contracts are timely for Windyridge Cheese, based in Higher Holton near Wincanton, because it has been struggling with price hikes for its raw materials.
The company's unusual produce has got taste buds tingling in Canada and the US.
Retailers and wholesalers have ordered one and a half tonnes of its Thai Curry and Fiery Spice cheeses, in contracts worth GBP5,000.
Windyridge buys in "blank" medium mature cheddar and adds ingredients to make cheeses which are anything but run of the mill.
Owner and director Mel Smith said the orders were crucial to her business because of the challenge of the increasing cost of ingredients, especially the price of cheese itself.
