The World Cheese Awards will open for entry on July 22, said the Guild of Fine Food, the awards’ organizers. Cheesemakers across the globe may submit their products into the largest cheese-only competition on the planet. The World Cheese Awards presentation will take place in Italy on Oct. 18, forming part of the FORME cheese festival in Bergamo.
Following another record-breaking number of entries in 2018, more than 3,500 entries are expected in Lombardy this year, the Guild of Fine Food said, making their way from over 40 different countries in six continents. The global cheese community will gather to judge all entries in a single day, bringing together cheesemakers, retailers, buyers, consumers and food commentators in a truly international celebration of all things cheese.
