Golden Hooves is celebrating a huge milestone in its regen revolution, as its Vintage Cheddar was named UK Supreme Champion at the Global Cheese Awards for the second time. One of the biggest prizes in cheese, this latest trophy has taken Golden Hooves’ tally up to 50 individual awards, as expert judges from across the industry consistently single out the brand for praise and recognition.

As part of farmer-owned dairy co-operative, First Milk, Golden Hooves has also celebrated the co-op’s King’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development, as well as B-Corporation certification, and was named in The Good Shopping Guide’s Top 200 Ethical Businesses for 2024. Having trodden a glittering path of medals, rosettes and silverware since the brand was first launched two years ago, all of this has been done to shine a spotlight on the co-op’s work to deliver a better future for people, animals, wildlife and the planet.

Said Leona McDonald, director: “It’s been an incredible couple of years for Golden Hooves, but this award really stops us in our tracks – we’re thrilled. More and more people want food that’s better for the planet without giving up the joy of proper cheese, and that’s exactly what we’re all about. This trophy is a lovely reminder that you don’t have to choose between flavour and farming that restores the land. We’ve got the cheese – and the butter, crackers and other treats – to prove it. Join us in our regen revolution!”  For more visit thecheesemarket.co.uk
