Premier Exhibition for UK Cheese Producers
The British Cheese Awards is one of the premier exhibitions and competitions for cheese producers in the UK. Its focus is cheeses produced in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales with awards across a number of categories culminating in the Supreme Champion.
The British Cheese Awards was founded by Juliet Harbutt in 1994 and the Royal Bath & West Society took ownership of the prestigious event in 2015.
Cheesemakers from across the UK and Ireland
The Awards continue to flourish by bringing together Harbutt’s tremendous network of producers and retailers with the Bath & West’s expertise in organising successful competitive Show events, attracting cheese makers from across the UK and Ireland.
