Alex James must be sweating as big cheeses from around the world fly in to judge the British Cheese Awards. Suddenly the sweaty demands of Glastonbury must seem a doddle.

As most foodie producers struggle to stay afloat in times of crunching credit this year’s awards boasts more new entrants than ever before; proving you just can’t stifle our love of cheese. Let’s hope the judging panel can keep that enthusiasm up as they wade through a whopping 900 dairy delights.

Judging by this year’s cheese entries, semi-soft and Cheddar are hot right now while flavour added cheeses are just not cutting the mustard. Apparently, this year in cheese, old is new.
