The 2nd World Jersey Cheese Awards
The 2nd World Jersey Cheese Awards, an initiative of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau (WJCB), were judged in the Island of Jersey on Friday 11th June 2010.
102 entries were received from 10 countries, with a total of 38 medals awarded by an expert judging panel. The cheese awarded the title of the World's Best Jersey Cheese 2010 was "Jersey Blue" made by Willi Schmid from Switzerland.
The lead judges had this to say of the competition:
John Allison from the United Kingdom: "The Gold Medal winners were of an extremely high standard and would have ranked as such anywhere in the world. I was amazed by the variety of cheeses made from Jersey milk. The diligence and skill of the panel of judges made it an enjoyable and worthwhile competition."
Kathy Guidi from Canada: "It was wonderful to see such an array of high quality hand crafted cheeses from around the world made exclusively from Jersey milk."
In 2008 the World Jersey Cattle Bureau launched the world's first produce awards dedicated to a single breed of livestock - The World Jersey Cheese Awards. The concept was simple: demonstrate the quality and diversity of cheeses made from 100% Jersey milk to reinforce in the mind of consumers that when it comes to quality, look for 'Jersey' as a mark of the very best.
