World Cheese Awards - Gold

2022

Beauvale is an award-winning blue cheese produced by Cropwell Bishop Creamery Ltd., a renowned cheese maker based in Nottinghamshire, England. Known for its creamy texture and rich flavors, Beauvale is designed to appeal to both blue cheese lovers and those who prefer a milder taste.


It is softer and creamier compared to traditional Stilton cheese, making it ideal for spreading on crackers or bread. Beauvale has a distinct, indulgent quality that allows it to stand out in the realm of blue cheeses, offering a perfect balance between sharp and buttery notes.
