Holmfirth in Yorkshire is probably best known as the location for filming the British television comedy Last of the Summer Wine. However it is also home to the family-owned dairy Longley Farm, a leading producer of the traditional local speciality: Yorkshire curd. The company has invested in two HRS corrugated tube heat exchangers to remove heat from products during processing as part of upgrades to its factory. The company tops up production from its 300 Jersey cows with that from up to 40 trusted farmers around the country. Longley Farm is the world's leading commercial manufacturer of Yorkshire curd, which is an uncooked fresh curd product that is the key ingredient in a traditional Yorkshire curd tart. Originally developed by Yorkshire farmers as a way of using up any curds left over from cheese making, today this sweet pastry-cased delicacy filled with currents and egg is often served as a cold treat or a warm dessert.
