Gold and Silver for the Monks’ Produce at the Food Drink Devon Awards
We’re delighted to share that two of our Monks’ Kitchen products have been recognised at the 2026 Food Drink Devon Awards, with our Chapter House Cheese winning Gold and our Onion Chutney winning Silver.
Our Chapter House Cheese is handmade with milk from Jersey cows and crafted by our monks with Sharpham Dairy. Our Rustic cheese has a light tang balancing rich milk, developing a nutty flavour when matured.
Our Onion Chutney, made with tonic wine, is a great complement to your Buckfast Beef dish or a favourite cheese, and the perfect partner for a slice of Chapter House!
The awards were presented at Sandy Park, Exeter, on Monday 5 October, celebrating 15 years of the very best of Devon’s food and drink. With 280 products entered this year, we’re incredibly proud to see ours recognised alongside so many fantastic local producers. A huge thank you to the monks, our team, our friends at Sharpham Dairy and everyone who continues to support our range.
Why not taste the winners for yourself? Both products are available in the Abbey’s shop and available online soon, and you can also enjoy them at San Benedetto’s Restaurant.
