The UK’s No. 1 Cheddar Brand Is Back with Uplegger

Langenhagen, May 13^th, 2025. Starting in June, the well-known Cathedral City brand from the UK’s leading cheese manufacturer, Saputo Dairy UK, will again be distributed by Uplegger Food Company GmbH. With its popular classic Cheddar range, one of Britain's strongest cheese brands returns to Uplegger after a brief interruption.

"About 15 years ago, we helped establish the premium segment for English Cheddar in the German-speaking market and successfully built-up Cathedral City as a brand," says Konstantin Uplegger, CEO of Uplegger Food Company. "We are now very pleased to once again have Saputo as a strong partner at our side. Together, we created an entirely new category – and we are excited to continue that journey."

The renewed partnership is about more than just familiar successes: In addition to the classic Cheddar, the range will be expanded to include forward-looking innovations. With this extended product lineup and the renewed collaboration with Saputo, Uplegger is sending a clear signal – for high-quality products, trusted partnerships, and a strong, shared future in the cheese market.

The launch range for Germany and Austria includes Cathedral City Cheddar in slices and blocks, ranging from mild to mature and bold in flavour. The slices are matured for 4, 12, or 9 months (120g, 8 units per carton, RRP* €2.49). The blocks are available with 12 and 14 months of maturation (200g, 12 units per carton, RRP* €3.99).
