Millbrook Dairy’s premium Scottish Cheddar 1057 gains strong traction in US and AU markets

Millbrook Dairy has reported strong international momentum for its premium Scottish Mature Cheddar, 1057, following rapid growth in sales and nationwide distribution across the United States.

Launched earlier this year, 1057 has been welcomed by specialist cheese retailers and consumers alike, with distribution now exceeding 1,000 stores nationwide. The product’s consistent quality, distinctive Scottish provenance and premium flavour profile have driven strong repeat purchase and growing brand recognition within the world’s largest cheese-consuming market.

Founded just six years ago, Millbrook Dairy has built a fast-growing reputation by working closely with expert producers across the UK, Ireland and beyond, sourcing high-quality cheddars, retail formats and premium butter ranges with clear provenance and consistent taste. The success of 1057 in the US reflects Millbrook’s focus on developing products that meet international demand for premium British cheese.

Growth is also being seen in the Australian market, where sales of Millbrook’s 1057 Scottish Cheddar continue to increase within the retail sector, underlining rising appetite for high-quality British dairy across multiple global markets.

Millbrook’s international expansion has been supported by collaborative export partnerships, including with Somerdale International, which provides extensive market expertise and access to established retail and foodservice customers worldwide.

Kevin Beer, Director at Millbrook Dairy, commented:

“We’re extremely proud of the progress 1057 has made in such a short space of time. The response from US customers and consumers has been hugely encouraging, and given the scale of the American cheese market, we see significant opportunity to further grow the brand and expand Millbrook’s international presence.”

Alan Jenkins, Director at Somerdale International and Head of Sales for the USA, added:

“1057 has quickly established itself as a premium Scottish cheddar with strong appeal in the US. Its quality, provenance and flavour profile are resonating well with specialist customers, and we’re pleased to support its continued growth across the market.”

Somerdale International exports more than 250 British cheeses to over 50 countries worldwide, working with leading retailers, distributors and foodservice operators to champion the best of British dairy on the global stage.
