Congratulations to all of the winners of the 2nd World Jersey Cheese Awards, an initiative of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau (WJCB)! 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.
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.
