UK's #1 Cheddar COMES TO ITALY

Atlante is honoured to be the exclusive distributor of Cathedral City cheddar in Italy. We are proud to work with this brand, which has been named 'the UK's No. 1 Cheddar' by Circana/Total Market data.

Cathedral City cheddar is made from 100% English milk, and sourced from the lushest pastures in the Southwest of England. In that particular region of the UK, the temperate climate is ideal for the production of fresh and creamy milk.

Cathedral City cheddar is produced by the award-winning Davidstow creamery, which sources milk exclusively from around 330 farmers.

From Atlante's CEO, Natasha Linhart:

"We are particularly enthusiastic to bring the UK’s favourite cheese brand* to Italy. The Davidstow creamery, which creates Cathedral City cheddar, has a formidable track record of winning awards, including claiming the prestigious DuPont Danisco Grand Prix Cup 14 times in the last 18 years. We hope Cathedral City cheddar will be as loved in Italy as it is in the UK.”

A Partnership Between Atlante and Saputo Dairy UK

We at Atlante operate in the large-scale food retail sector as a strategic partner for major Italian chains when it comes to selecting, importing and distributing food products from all over the world. We are also active in the export of the best specialties from here in Italy. We are passionate about sharing Italy's best food and drink with the world, and helping to share the world's best food and drink here at home.

Cheddar cheese is a quintessential British food- the name 'cheddar' actually comes from a village named Cheddar in the southwestern county of Somerset, England. The producer of Cathedral City is Saputo Dairy UK, and it is helping to keep traditional British cheddar alive.

Saputo Dairy UK produces and sells some of the best-loved food brands in the UK, including Cathedral City, Clover, Country Life and Frylight, as well as specialised ingredients for use in infant formula. Its brands are widely recognisable in Britain and trusted for their homegrown, high quality reputation.

Saputo Dairy UK is a producer of leading British food brands and value-added ingredients. It is part of Saputo Inc., one of the top ten dairy processors in the world. Saputo Inc. was founded close to 70 years ago by members of the Saputo family in Canada. The Saputo family also happens to be the new Bologna FC sponsor!
