Delamere Dairy

Delamere Dairy began in 1985 in Cheshire’s beautiful Delamere Forest, with the purchase of three goats. Today, the company sells an award-winning range of goats’ products (cheeses, yogurts, butters, milks and powder), plain and flavoured cows’ milks, and a growing portfolio of milks for the pet industry.  For much of this time, Delamere has supplied plant-based and dairy alternative ‘milks’ as own label brands for retailers across the UK. The knowledge and expertise it has built during this time is extensive.  Celebrating 37 years in business, the company has an annual turnover in excess of £29M, with products sold throughout the UK and in over 20 markets around the world.

 Delamere has supported the FFFAs since the very first awards in 2008. It was a much smaller affair then! The number of producers, sponsors and retailers involved now is testament to the hard work and dedication of the FFFA team and innovative producers which has led to the breadth of allergen-free options now available in mainstream outlets.
