Held at the Staffordshire County Showground at the end of last month, June, ICDA is the world’s biggest platform for championing world class cheese and dairy products.
Recognised for its sticky orange rind, pungent aroma, oozy creamy texture and nutty flavour, Minger was among 5,500 entries to be judged in a single day by cheese and dairy experts from around the globe.
Highland Fine Cheeses’ semi-hard washed rind cheese, Fat Cow was awarded Bronze in the rind-washed category, while Blue Murder took Bronze in the soft blue category. A third Bronze was awarded to Ooh La La, which is a soft and silky lactic style cow’s milk cheese, which is yet to be officially launched by Highland Fine Cheeses. (EDITOR: I can't wait!)
More awards success was achieved at the Royal Highland Show, which also took place last month, with Fat Cow receiving a Gold, while Minger, Blue Murder, Strathdon Blue, and Highland Fine Cheeses’ Salted Butter all achieved Bronze accolades.
