Supreme Champion 2019
Hollin House Farm – Whole Milk
WINNER
“Wow wow wow!” was how our judges described this year’s Supreme Product, curtesy of the team at Hollin House Farm. Their whole milk evoked such lovely childhood memories across our judging panel that it was a standout winner from the start!
Produced on a small family run dairy farm in the village of Clayton West in West Yorkshire, the creamy, full fat milk was a joy to behold and tasted “exactly like milk should – thick, creamy and full of delicious flavor.” Third generation dairy farmers, the family recently diversified and have begun selling milk directly to the public in glass bottles as well as producing Hollin House Farm Cheese.
comparing and judging at a myriad of events including the World Cheese Awards, the Britvic Business Food and Drink Journalist Awards and the Time Out Food and Drink Awards to name but a few.
A fixture on the food and drink scene he is held in high regard and with particular affection by Deliciousyorkshire and its members where he has been involved
in all aspects of promoting the county’s food and drink for a number of years. Congratulations Nigel, you deserve it!
