A Pembrokeshire creamery has won a top prize at the Global Cheese Awards.
Haverfordwest Creamery, part of the British-owned dairy co-operative First Milk, won the Champion Territorial Cheese trophy with its Double Gloucester.
The creamery beat all other territorial cheese class winners, including Red Leicester, Cheshire and Lancashire creamery, and traditional varieties.
The creamery also won 15 class awards across its entire range of Cheddars, Double Gloucester, and Red Leicester, with six gold, seven silver, and two bronze.
First Milk's customer quality manager, Jack Eade, received the trophies from Frome & Agricultural Cheese Show president Michael Rogers at last week's event.
Mr Eade said: "First Milk has an impressive track record at the major cheese shows, and I’m delighted we’ve shown this again at this well-respected event.
"To achieve awards across our entire range clearly indicates our commitment to manufacture cheese to the highest standards.
"Congratulations to everyone involved, including our farmer members who provide us with the highest quality milk from which to build."
First Milk's Lake District Creamery in Cumbria also won a trophy, with its Extra Mature Cheddar winning Champion UK Cheese, bringing the total medal haul to 24.
