Cornish Blue Celebrates 15 Years

The winner, Jo Franham-Parks, will be travelling from Sheffield with three friends to produce their own Cornish Blue.

First produced on the Stansfield’s farm in 2001, Cornish Blue was created as a response to falling milk prices and the lack of a blue cheese native to the county.

Cornish Blue has since won a number of awards, starting in 2004 with The Tesco Cheese Challenge which was followed by Supreme Champion at The Bath & West Show. The title of World Champion Cheese followed in 2010 and the business took off.

Jo said, “I’m so excited. We are really looking forward to meeting Phil and the team and making our own cheese.”

Phil Stansfield, owner of Cornish Blue said, “It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years. We would like to thank our customers, wholesalers and the Cornish Cheese team for their fantastic support. With production doubling in the last two years we very much look forward to the next 15 years.”
