Pensioners enjoy Fivemiletown oak smoked cheddar cheese

Tyrone cheesemaker Fivemiletown Creamery was at the centre of the annual Ceremony of the Christmas Cheeses at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea in London.

The creamery, located in Fivemiletown, Co Tyrone, donated a Ballyoak Irish Soft Smoked Cheese for the Chelsea Pensioners to enjoy this festive season. The special Christmas ceremony dates back to 1692, when cheesemakers first started donating cheese to the hospital.
