Mezé Awards
World Cheese Awards
The planet’s biggest ‘cheese-only’ competition, championing the world’s best cheese makers, from tiny artisans to global heavyweights was held in Bergen, Norway.
With nearly 3500 cheeses entered, from 41 different countries, winning a medal becomes more difficult but also a bigger achievement. From the 21 awards received by South African cheese makers, Meze Foods won 5. 235 judges from across the globe travelled to nose, taste and grade the cheeses. A cheese is judged on its own merit and awarding a medal must be, and always is, a unanimous decision of the panel members.
The 2019 World Cheese Awards will take place in Bergamo, Italy.

QUALITÉ
SA CHEESE AWARDS
Agri-Expo has been involved in the South African dairy industry since 1834, when the first South African Dairy Championships was held with one goal in mind: TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. To date, this is still the objective, and the annual SA Dairy Championships is a fine example of this. Around 900 dairy products are judged by about 80 experts who evaluate the appearance, texture and flavour of products in ten categories.

WORLD JERSEY
CHEESE AWARDS
The World Jersey Cheese Awards was established in 2008 by the World Jersey Cattle Bureau and was the first awards scheme where all the products came from a single breed of cattle, the Jersey cow. According to James Godfrey, Secretary of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau, the awards concept is about showcasing the quality and diversity of products made from Jersey milk and to reinforce in the minds of consumers that the name ‘Jersey’ is synonymous with quality.
