I ruddy love cheese I do; good mature Cheddar, the gooiest baked brie, crumbly feta, and damn it even a plastic cheese slice on white toast when I have a hangover!
The International Cheese Awards are a pretty big deal in the dairy world. A win can give a much needed boost to a lesser known producer or add value to an already well-known product. 4,443 cheeses are entered this year- 4443! Last year saw Claxstone Smooth Blue produced by Long Clawson Dairy crowned Supreme Champion. A British cheese the best in the world- suck it France!
The last time I went I was like a pig in muck and am equally looking forward to it this time. You walk into a giant marquee and it is full of cheese!
And where is this magic Narnia I hear you ask? Well Nantwich of course! Trade day, when the judging takes place, is Tuesday 29th July, but it is open to the public on Wednesday 30th with cheese galore and chef demos including James Martin. Not only that, but it makes up part of the Nantwich Show so you can go, buy your body weight in cheese (after extensive sampling) and then check out the show pigeons- seriously, check out those pigeons, they are crazy-cute with their bouffant hair!
