NEW ZEALAND TAKES THE TOP CHEESE TROPHY, A FAMILY DAIRY’S MILK IS SUPREME IN DAIRY, AND CHESHIRE LEADS THE BRITISH CHARGE.
Lactalis-Mainland Dairy New Zealand was the exhibitor of the show, its winning entry taking Best New Zealand Cheese and The Champion Overseas before being crowned Supreme Champion Cheese. Bourne’s Cheshire Cheese was the standout British performer, its farmhouse coloured Cheshire named both The Champion UK and Reserve Supreme Champion, while The Wright Family Dairy’s Champion Milk went on to take the supreme trophy on the dairy side.
