Faye Kitching said their success is particularly pleasing because they are among the smallest cheesemakers in the land, with a team of just six full and part timers working to create their award winning cheeses.

Leagram, based at High Head Farm Builsdings on Moss Lane, Chipping,near Longridge, gained both a gold and silver awards for its Creamy Lancashire, a silver for its Crumbly Lancashire and bronze awards for its Mature Lancashire and Nannykins soft goat cheese at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards in Staffordshire.
But Faye said the greatest joy was gaining a Gold award for the Dairy’s Smoky Cobbler cheese, a soft organic cow’s mik cheese which is traditionally smoked. It was created by her father the late Bob Kitching who set up the Leagram Organic Dairy.
Faye said: “It was the last cheese my dad created before he passed away. It means the world to us as a family.”
