“This enormous survey was based on votes by independent retailers such as farm shops, delis and cheesemongers across the UK, so we want to say a massive thank you, not only to those who voted for us but also to all of you who have popped into your local shop and bought a piece of Baron over the past year. Every one of you have helped us to achieve this.

“Our head cheesemaker Marc and his team work tirelessly to tweak and improve the recipe for Baron Bigod, to continue to make it better and better every year. It’s so wonderful to see people across the whole of the UK enjoying what we’ve made here on our Suffolk farm.”
