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 September 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]
In the 2012 ranking of all businesses in the UK, compiled by YouGov’s BrandIndex, Cathedral City was rated as the country's tenth most popular brand and the most popular food or drink.[11]
