- British Cheese Awards Rings the Changes
For its first year under the ownership of the Royal Bath & West Show, this year’s British Cheese Awards has made a number of changes to its offer.
For the past two years the Awards have been transitioning ownership from founder Juliet Harbutt to Royal Bath & West, and the new owners plan to make 2016’s event the biggest yet.
This year, for the first time, the judging will take place on the first day of the three-day event and will be open to the public in order for them to appreciate the expertise and skill that goes into the judging process.
The event will also see two new awards being handed out. One, the People’s Choice Award, offers visitors an opportunity to have their say and choose their own favourite cheese. The other, the British Cheese Monger Award, will see cheesemongers demonstrated their expertise in front of a live audience in the hope of being selected as the best in the business.
