Wiltshire dairy praised in Parliament for award-winning products

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 06:12 · Archive

Brinkworth Dairy near Chippenham won three gold medals at the 2026 International Cheese and Dairy Awards and was praised in Parliament.

Brinkworth Dairy, a family-run farm near Chippenham, has been praised in Parliament following its success at the 2026 International Cheese and Dairy Awards, where it won three gold medals. South Cotswolds MP Dr Roz Savage MBE recognised the dairy's achievements through an Early Day Motion (EDM), which also acknowledges its commitment to sustainable farming and its contribution to Wiltshire's rural economy and food sector.

The three gold-medal-winning products are the salted caramel gelato, Wiltshire Loaf cheese, and the newly launched Chaddar cheese. The dairy previously won success at the 2025 awards, where its raspberry gelato was crowned Champion Ice Cream. Dr Savage visited the dairy to learn about its cheese-making process and farming methods.

Ceri Cryer, the fifth-generation custodian of Brinkworth Dairy's pedigree Friesian herd, said the parliamentary recognition was 'wonderful' and highlighted the care and skill behind the products. He described winning awards as 'a fantastic achievement for the whole team', particularly meaningful because it recognised the farming that underpins production. Cryer stated the dairy was 'passionate about producing exceptional dairy products while looking after the land and maintaining the heritage of our family farm'.

Brinkworth Dairy produces a variety of cheeses and dairy products using milk from its own herd, combining traditional methods with innovation and experimentation. Every product begins with milk from the farm's own herd. The EDM formally congratulates the dairy on its three gold medals and applauds its continued success in dairy production and its contribution to the rural economy and reputation of Wiltshire's food and farming sector.
