New spreadable version of award-winning Truly Scrumptious Butter brings more than just convenience to the table

Somerset, UK – November 5, 2009 – Wyke Farms, the UK’s largest independent cheese producer and milk processor, today unveil the latest addition to their range of traditional cheddar and butter products, a new spreadable version of their award-winning Truly Scrumptious Farmhouse Butter. Available in 500g tubs, the new spreadable butter is the perfect marriage of traditional farmhouse flavour and modern-day convenience.

With all of the same great flavour that has made Wyke Farms’ farmhouse butter a household name, the new Truly Scrumptious Spreadable version spreads smoothly and evenly straight from the fridge. Ideal for busy mums on the go, this new butter provides easy convenience without sacrificing the flavour and quality that go into every product in the family-run company’s range.

“Creating a more user-friendly, spreadable version of our Truly Scrumptious butter was the next logical step for us in modernizing our otherwise very traditional farmhouse range of products,” said Richard Clothier, Managing Director and third-generation family member at Wyke Farms. “Over the past year Wyke Farms has been dedicated to answering consumer demand for convenience by updating our products with features including zip-lock packaging, grated formats and snack-size portions of our award-winning cheddar, and now a modern and easier to use butter that really is Truly Scrumptious.”

The 100 years of tradition at Wyke Farms have rewarded with more than 100 trophies, awards and prizes won by the company at national cheese shows. From an original 3,000 plus, Wyke Farms is now one of less that 20 farmhouse cheese makers remaining in the West Country, and today its mild, mature, extra mature and vintage cheddars and butter products are sold throughout Europe in over 25,000 retailers.

Wyke Farms cheese and butter products are available nationwide and can be found in Asda, Co-op, Makro, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Somerfield, Tesco and Waitrose.
