HistoryThe original cheese recipe was created in 1861 by Ivy Clothier as a hobby.[2][3] She used her husband's first cow herd to produce cheese. The recipe became well known in local areas and she later bought milk from other farms. Ivy's recipe is still used today.[3] ProductionWith help from UK Trade & Investment, the family run business was able to export its products to more than 160 countries. The company started expanding internationally in 1997.[3] The cheese and butter are partially made with milk from cows that graze in the Mendip Hills in Somerset. There is a herd of 1,000 cows which produce the milk and the company also uses milk from cows in nearby farms.[1][3] In 2015, it was announced that the company expects to "quadruple international sales" by 2019.[4] The waste of cows and pigs are used to power the farm, rather than electricity from the national grid. It took 5 years to finish building the biogas plant.[5] Diane Cox is employed by Wyke Farms for her ability to smell and taste cheese. Her employers pay £25,000 p.a. to insure her nose. She is able to infer which cheese will become a high quality vintage cheddar.[10] Cox consumes multiple times more cheese for her work than a typical British adult.[6] AwardsWyke Farms won the Award for Environmental & Corporate Sustainability from the European Business Awards in 2016.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/sustainability-case-studies-wyke-farms |title=Wyke Farms cheddar goes green – in a good way |last=Fox |first=Nicolette |date=May 15, 2014 |website=The Guardian |access-date=April 6, 2017}} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Sunderasan |first=Srinivasan |date=November 14, 2014 |title=Cleaner-Energy Investments: Cases and Teaching Notes |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2DppBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA153 |publisher=Springer |page=153 |isbn=9788132220626}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.nfuonline.com/news/latest-news/wyke-farms-a-global-success/ |title=Wyke Farms: A global success |date=July 25, 2016 |website=NFU |access-date=April 6, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.just-food.com/interview/wyke-farms-aims-to-quadruple-international-sales_id131578.aspx |title=Wyke Farms aims to quadruple international sales |last=Askew |first=Katy |date=November 5, 2015 |website=Just-Food |access-date=April 6, 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/apr/30/cow-manure-powers-somersets-charismatic-cheese-makers |title=Cow manure powers Somerset's charismatic cheese-makers |last=Wills |first=Jackie |date=April 30, 2015 |website=The Guardian |access-date=April 6, 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/09/the-woman-with-the-5-million-nose-6181253/ |title=The woman with an amazing job and a £5 million nose |last=Tamplin |first=Harley |date=October 9, 2016 |website=Metro |access-date=April 6, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.businessawardseurope.com/winners/wyke-farms-united-kingdom |title=The Award for Environmental & Corporate Sustainability |website=European Business Awards |access-date=April 6, 2017}} 3 : Cheesemakers|Dairy products companies of the United Kingdom|Companies based in Somerset |
