International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2026: Gold for our cheeses

Last week, more than 4,500 cheeses were assessed at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards in Staffordshire (UK).

Internationally, this competition is regarded as an important benchmark for quality, craftsmanship and product development within the dairy sector.

🏆Gold in the Consumer Cheese Choice category: Reypenaer V.S.O.P.

In this category, cheeses are assessed blind by panels of international experts, focusing not only on technical quality, but also on flavour balance and overall consumer appeal.

🏆Gold in the Best Dutch Goat Cheese category: Wyngaard Chèvre Gris

A result we are proud of and a wonderful recognition for one of the lesser-known products within our portfolio.

We are proud of these distinctions, which underline how we have been maturing our cheeses in a traditional way, generation after generation.

Other award-winning cheeses from our range:

• Bronze in the Best Dutch Goat Cheese category: Wyngaard Chèvre Affiné
• Bronze in the Best Dutch Cheese (Other Variety) category: Reypenaer V.S.O.P.
• Bronze in the Best Bulk or Catering Format Cheese category: Reypenaer borrelpuntjes
