Holmfirth dairy has won a top prize for the milk that goes into its cheese and yoghurts.
28/07/2010

Longley Farm beat off competition from more than 800 entrants to win the prize for best Yorkshire product at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate.
Dairy spokesman Konrad Schwoch said it was unusual for the award to be won for an ingredient rather than a consumer product.
“You cannot drink raw milk before it is treated,” he said.
“So it says something about the quality of the milk we are producing that the judges chose what is a basic ingredient as the winning product rather than a raspberry ripple ice cream or something!
“It is phenomenal and quite surprising. But to make good products, you need good raw materials.”
The milk used in Longley Farm’s products is supplied by its own herd of Jersey cows and those belonging to 25 dedicated Jersey farmers around the country.
He said the quality of the product was due to several factors.
“Jersey cows produce fine milk which has very good fat and protein content. It is also low in bacteria, which makes it a very ‘clean’ product.
“It is also down to the partnership between us and the farmers and the experience and dedication of our employees – several of whom have been with us for 25 years or more.”
