- The West Country cheesemaker, creator of Cornish Blue Cheese, has announced that the second phase of its production facility has recently begun
The company’s current cheesemaking capability will be doubled, thanks to new making, packing and maturing rooms partly funded by the South West Rural Development Agency grant programme.
Philip Stansfield of the Cornish Cheese Co. said, “I am delighted that we can soon open this new part of our business and increase cheese production. There have been a few delays, as with any large scale building project, so we are chomping at the bit to get in there now and start making cheese!
“It will mean the production process runs more smoothly from cow to final cheese, with many of the improvements making life easier for our staff as well.”
The news comes soon after Cornish Cheese Co. announced record sales over the 2014/15 Christmas period, which saw sales nearly double from the year before.
Philip Stansfield said, “This is a very positive start for us in 2015 and I hope to see the demand increase as we head towards the summer show season.”
