Award-Winning Italian Cheese Now in Our Range
Since joining the Granarolo family last year, West Horsley Dairy has been able to offer our customers across London and the South East an even wider selection of genuinely outstanding Italian cheese – and we have just had it confirmed by the experts.
Granarolo, the Italian cooperative behind our acquisition, has been honoured with 25 medals at the 2026 International Cheese and Dairy Awards (ICDA), one of the industry’s most respected competitions, as well as being named Champion Trade Stand 2026.
The medals
Gold – Burrata, Nodini (Fior de Latte in knots), Stracchino, Perla Ovoline (Fior de Latte bite-size), Grana Padano (9 months), Pecorino Toscano DOP, Pecorino Romano (grating, over 8 months) and Pizza Block (Block Mozzarella).
Silver – Truffle Burrata, Mozzarella di Bufala Ball, Stracciatella, Parmigiano Reggiano (30 months), Pecorino Toscano DOP Stagionato, Pecorino Romano (5 months), Capra Testadura and Kefir.
Bronze – Truffle Burrata (cow’s milk with truffle), Mozzarella di Bufala, Ricotta Salata, Ricotta, Pettinicchio Julienne, Quattrocento, Gorgonzola Dolce PDO, Panna UHT and Yomo Coffee Yogurt.
For us, this recognition simply confirms what our customers already know: that the Italian cheese on our vans is the genuine article. Granarolo’s roots go back to 1957, when a cooperative of Bolognese farmers came together with a shared commitment to quality, and that same dedication runs through every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano and every ball of burrata we deliver today.
Combined with our own long-standing relationships with South East producers and our commitment to sourcing as locally as possible, it means our customers get the very best of both worlds: authentic Italian classics alongside quality regional cheeses, all delivered through the same trusted, reliable service we have offered since 1992.
