About Cryer & Stott

Cryer & Stott produce Ruby Gold rhubarb cheese, it was created six years ago. We wanted to create a local cheese using local produce, and as we are based in Wakefield the obvious choice of flavour was the famous rhubarb. We spent four months working on the project until we found the right texture and flavour that we were looking for. The result was a ewe’s milk cheese with a flaky texture and a lemony zesty flavour that marries really well with the sweetness of the rhubarb. Ruby Gold has become a big favourite with customers in our three shops as well as our wholesale clients (leading restaurants and farm shops).

2005 was the first year we entered any cheese awards and we won a Gold Medal at the Nantwich Cheese Show with the Ruby Gold, as well as picking up an award from the Regional Food Group for Yorkshire and Humber for Business Excellence. Cryer & Stott have received enquiries from all the main supermarkets regarding stocking Ruby Gold, but we want to maintain Ruby Gold’s handcrafted qualities which would be lost in large scale manufacture, instead preferring to trade with retailers and restaurants who share our passion for local food with providence. Ruby Gold is a versatile cheese which can be used in salads and cooking as well as the cheese board.
