The Guild of Fine Food expects to receive a record-breaking 3,500 cheese entries.
The World Cheese Awards will open for entry on Sept. 5, 2018. The program’s organizer, the Gillingham, England-based Guild of Fine Food, said it expects a record-breaking 3,500 cheeses to be judged in Bergen, Norway, on Nov. 2.
The World Cheese Awards is the largest cheese-only competition on the planet and will this year form part of a brand new festival, Matnasjonen Norge, founded by HANEN. Taking place in Bergen’s Grieg Hall, the 31st edition of the awards will be set against the backdrop of Norway’s finest food and drink, the Guild of Fine Food said, including highlights such as Kraftkar from Tingvollost, which took the World Cheese Awards’ top prize in 2016.
