This year over 3,668 entries participated from 26 nations. This is a three-day event is also the largest technical cheese, butter and yoghurt competition in the world. Around 55 judges had a gruelling session to select the Crème de la crème of all cheese.
Who’s The Winner?
Not building any more suspense, this year the winner goes to the Gruyere cheese from Switzerland. This top prize was awarded to Michael Spycher from Bern, Switzerland for his Gruyere. This cheese is said to be made out of cow’s milk and is being produced for the past 900 years near the town of Gruyere, from where it derives its name. The runner-up is also Swiss cheese made from cow’s milk by Hardegger Kase AG and the third prize was given to a gouda cheese from the Netherlands.
