The original owners of the brand, Mendip Foods, were based in the cathedral city of Wells in Somerset. Dairy Crest bought the brand from Mendip Foods Ltd in July 1995,[2][3] moving production to Davidstow in Cornwall, which has neither city status nor a cathedral.[4]
In 2019, Saputo bought Dairy Crest.[5][6]
As of October 2024, the cheese is manufactured at Davidstow Creamery and matured at the distribution centre at Nuneaton.
The brand was officially launched in Canada and the United States in 2020.[7][8][9]
In 2014, Cathedral City was cited in research published by the British Medical Journal highlighting the fact that branded cheeses generally had higher salt content than supermarket own-brands.[10]
YouGov’s BrandIndex ranks Cathedral City the most popular brand in the Chilled/Frozen, Packaged Foods sector in Great Britain[11].
