World Cheese Awards

Australia will be represented at the World Cheese Awards next month by local Sydney Cheese Educator Claudia Bowman who, for the fourth time, will join the International judging panel to award the world’s best cheeses.

The World Cheese Awards will visit Italy for the first time, taking place in Bergamo on Friday 18 October 2019, as part of the city’s annual FORME cheese festival — a four-day celebration of cheese in the Medieval heart of Bergamo.

Claudia Bowman will join a team of 250 Internationally recognised experts including cheese makers, technical experts, buyers, retailers, food writers and the finest palates and noses in the business to judge 3,500 cheese entries from over thirty countries at the largest cheese competition in the world.

All Cheese entries are judged in a single day by carefully assembled teams of technical experts, buyers, retailers and food writers. Judges work in teams of three, identifying any cheeses worthy of a gold, silver or bronze award.
Judges look at the rind and the body of the cheese, its colour, texture, consistency and, above all, its taste.

Each of the teams then nominate one exceptional cheese as the Super Gold from their table.

These top-flight cheeses are the best in the world and were then judged a second time by the Super Jury of 16 internationally-recognised experts, who each selected a cheese to champion in the final round of judging.

The Super Jury, representing all four corners of the globe, then debates the final 16 in front of a live consumer and trade audience, before choosing the World Champion Cheese live on WCA TV, with cheese lovers across the globe tuning in for the drama. As well as striving for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Super Gold, there were country and cheese specific trophies to award in 2018.

The live coverage of the World Cheese Awards action and judging will be broadcast here.
