Buying British Dairy

British milk, cream, cheeses & butter travels less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.

Choosing British milk, cream, cheeses & butter means supporting British farmers whose work helps keep the British countryside the way we want it to look: no cows, sheep and goats - no countryside!

 
Britain produces more named cheeses than France! PDF Print E-mail

There are over 700 named cheeses produced in the United Kingdom. The flavour of the cheeses depends not just on the process used to make them, but also on whether milking has taken place in the morning or evening and how much grass the cows, goats or sheep have been able to eat.

One of the easiest ways in which to celebrate local and regional food is to enjoy regional cheeses. Many cheeses are EU protected foods and have been awarded PDO or PGI status.
