The Frome Cheese Show has announced that it is going global and is inviting cheese entries from around the world.
Now to be known as the Global Cheese Awards, the Frome Cheese Committee has taken the decision to expand the classes in order to enable cheesemakers from across the globe to enter. This will increase competition amongst entries and further establish the Awards as a showcase of the best cheese from around the world.
According to Nigel Pooley, Chairman of the Frome Cheese Committee, “Last year’s Frome Cheese Awards proved a phenomenal success and further established its role as one of the prestigious awards that members of the Dairy Industry want to be associated with. We are very lucky to have such a wide array of fantastic cheese available in the UK, and we feel it is now time to share this cheese secret with the rest of the world.”
Centred in the heart of cheesemaking country in Somerset, over 1,000 entries were received in 2010, across 93 classes. The Awards will now showcase the wonderful array of cheese from the UK alongside the many continental cheeses available in our shops and markets.
For 2011 there will be 167 classes, open to both speciality and artisan cheeses as well as volume produced. Classes will include Best European, Best West Country cheese, Best Overseas and regional classes amongst others. The new Global Supreme Champion Award Trophy is accompanied by £1,000 prize Money.
The Global Cheese Awards final judging will take place on the trade day of the Frome Agricultural and Cheese Show on Friday 9th September, followed by the Awards announcement and a trade lunch. This offers the opportunity to network with the great and good of the Cheese world, including experts, sponsors, buyers, judges and celebrities.
On Saturday 10th September, cheese entries will be displayed to the public, offering visitors the opportunity to taste, try and buy the finest cheese from around the globe.
Entry forms for The Global Cheese Awards can be obtained from www.globalcheeseawards.com or by telephoning 01373 463600 and entry forms can also be filled out online. Entries close on 10th August and Awards will be announced on Friday 9th September.
