Historically, in the world of cheese, the use of black wax was reserved for premium products. For example, in the 1970s, black waxed Gouda was the top of the line. Nowadays, a rainbow of wax colors is used across the quality spectrum. Some of the more traditional producers have maintained the tradition of coding quality by wax color, one of which is England's Tuxford & Tebbutt.</p><P>Tuxford & Tebbutt Creamery, dating back to 1780, is located in the small market town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, England. The Tuxford & Tebbutt Creamery stands externally unchanged in appearance since its construction in the 18th century. The name originates from the company's two original owners, Mr. Tuxford (the Stilton man) and Mr. Tebbutt (the pork pie man). Up until 1965, both cheese and pork pies were made on the same site.
