Long Clawson Dairy was founded in 1911 when 12 farmers from the Vale of Belvoir, Leicestershire, formed a co-operative to produce Stilton® Cheese in the village of Long Clawson.
As a traditional company, Long Clawson Dairy is well known for its quality and innovation in Stilton® and Blended Cheese Markets.
The company has prospered and today is supplied by over 40 farms, all from within the Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire area. As Stilton® is protected by a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) it can only be made with milk from these Counties. Our Farms range in size, producing between 350,000 to over 4 million litres of milk per year.
We have more than 30 products in our portfolio including Blue Stilton®, Blue Shropshire, Blue Vinney plus many blended cheeses, all operating from 3 separate sites.
Our Cheese can be purchased from leading supermarket retailers and selected independent stores. We also supply to the foodservice, wholesale and export markets.
