Bothwell Cheese has been awarded a first-place trophy at the prestigious 83rd Annual British Empire Cheese Show in the Marble Cheddar class – the fifth consecutive year the Manitoba-based cheese maker has taken first place in the category.
This is believed to be the first time any cheese maker has won first place in the competition five years in a row.
“It’s a tremendous feat to be recognized by such a prestigious organization, especially considering the high calibre of the competition,” says Bothwell Cheese President & CEO Ivan Balenovic.
“This award recognizes the extraordinary talent of our staff – who take great pride in making the best cheese possible. It’s owing to their great work and dedication that our cheese is the best.”
The British Empire Cheese Show has a long and distinguished history. Since 1927, cheese makers from around the world have entered the competition, hoping to win one of its highly coveted awards. Billed as Canada’s largest display of Canadian & International Cheese, the show is presented by the Central Ontario Cheese Makers Association.
Bothwell also placed second in the Medium Cheddar and Monterey Jack categories.
