F Bailey & Son, of Upper Broughton, was run by Alan Bailey and his son Scott.
A spokesman for the Station Road business confirmed this week that the business had closed but declined to comment further.
F Bailey and Son, which was established in 1905, was one of the founder members of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association (MMPA).
Chairman Matthew O’Callaghan said: “It’s always sad to lose a long established producer but particularly so when it is a business with such a proud tradition.”
