UK: WENSLEYDALE PURCHASE TO MEET DEMAND

Article Abstract:

The Wensleydale creamery in Hawes, UK, has acquired Fountain's Dairy, its main rival in a bid to increase its size and meet rising demand. Since 1997, sales of Wensleydale cheese has increased by 15% while other cheeses such as Cheddar, Cheshire and Lancashire have all fallen. Wensleydale sales have benefited from the association with the Wallace & Gromit series of cartoons.
