Richard Paul, Show Chairman, said: “We had more than 3,700 entries in all and for the Aged Cave Cheddar to have beaten them all to become Supreme Champion means it is a truly exceptional cheese.
“Our panel of 150 expert judges are looking for flavour, for overall appearance and for the truly remarkable – and with our Supreme Champion, along with all the other category winners and runner ups, they found it.
“All winners can now feature the International Cheese Awards logo on packaging, and when a shopper spots it they can be safe in the knowledge that the product has been judged, by experts, as outstanding.”

This is the perfect stepping stone for our business as we look to roll out a number of new products an ideas in the coming years.”
