- A team of six specialists spent three days making a special batch of Lancashire cheese to be sold at Booths under the brand “Made by Booths.”
Booths, the Northern fine food and drink retailer, prides itself in the specialist knowledge of its staff, devoting time and training to visiting producers and understanding how a product is made.
The Booths cheese specialists took their quest for product knowledge to a new level when they turned their hands to making the cheese themselves. Six cheese specialists from across the business made a Lancashire cheese at Dewlay Cheesemakers in Garstang. Lancashire.
Conor Daunt, commercial director at Dewlay Cheesemakers said, “Booths and Dewlay have worked very closely over the years and we share the same passion for Lancashire cheese. This was a unique project where highly experienced cheese specialists worked at the dairy over three days and actually made their own cheese from start to finish to their own specifications. We look forward to seeing the product in store over the coming weeks.”
Richard Paul, cheese specialist from the Lytham St Anne’s Booths said, “They say we learn best by doing, and I think that’s especially true when it comes to food. To genuinely understand the artisan process of making cheese, there’s nothing like making it yourself. At Booths, staff knowledge sets us apart from the crowd.”
The cheese will be available for sale at the cheese counter in selected Booths stores from mid-October.
