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.
If only they’d got Joey Chestnut on the cheeseboard. Champion eater, Joey, is reported to hold the World Grilled Cheese Eating Record having scoffed 47 cheesy sarnies in just 10 minutes.
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.
So will a goat’s cheese get its time in the sun or will Caerphilly be crowned champion truckle? Watch this space to find out the big cheese hitters.
