A BUTTER business in Bicester has been named as a finalist in the delicious. Produce Awards 2017.

The national magazine competition has shortlisted 20 products from 17 local producers including Ampersand in Bicester for its cultured butter.

The farm in North West Bicester creates hand crafted English cultured butter and distributes it to restaurants and businesses across Oxfordshire and further afield.

Delicious. magazine editor Karen Barnes said: “We want to celebrate producers and artisans who are committed to quality and heritage. We aim to give a voice to the quiet heroes of the food world.”

The winners will be announced at an event in London in July.
