- A Nottinghamshire-based cheesemaker has been visited by HRH The Princess Royal to mark its centenary
Colston Bassett Dairy produces Blue Stilton and Shropshire Blue.
Dairy manager Billy Kevan showed the Princess around the dairy to see cheesemaking take place and outlined how the flavour profiles of the cheese developed during maturation to make Colston Bassett Stilton.
She then unveiled a plaque to commemorate her visit.
Mr Kevan said, “It was a fantastic honour and privilege to be able to show our Dairy to HRH The Princess Royal. A Royal visit has market this, our one hundredth year, as a truly special and memorable year in the history of Colston Bassett Dairy.
“To have a member of the Royal family visiting our dairy in the little village of Colston Bassett in Nottinghamshire, was important not just to the dairy but to the whole village. We really appreciate her taking the time to show so much interest in what we do.”
