Gold for Northern Irish Quark at World Cheese Awards
Dale Farm, Northern Ireland's biggest cheese producer, struck gold
for its Quark at the recent World Cheese Awards in the NEC,
Birmingham as part of the BBC Good Food Show.
The company, part United Dairy Farmers, a leading farmers'
co-operative, also gained a further six awards including a silver
and three bronzes for its Extra Mature Cheddar. The silver was for
Rathdarragh Extra Mature Cheddar, which it produces for discount
retailer Lidl.
The bronze winners are marketed under the company's longstanding andsuccessful Dromona brand.
Quark is a fat-free, skimmed milk soft cheese that's suitable for
vegetarians. Quark is a relatively recent development from the
company's extensive investment in new product development that's
focused on market trends in the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland.
In addition, Dale Farm gained bronze awards for its Fivemiletown
Boilie goat's cheese and for Spelga Cottage Cheese Natural and
Spelga Cottage Cheese Pineapple flavour.
