The cheese, made by High Weald Dairy in Horsted Keynes saw off over 4,000 other entries to win Super Gold.
The winning entry was Seven Sisters Sheep milk cheese with a coating of Hebridean seaweed and they picked up the award at the ceremony at the International Convention Centre Wales in Newport in 2 November.
The judging panel was made up by some of the world’s leading experts in cheese, featuring cheesemakers, cheesemongers, buyers, chefs, retailers, and writers. The cheeses were scored on aspects such as the appearance of the rind and paste, as well as the cheese’s aroma, body, and texture, with the majority of points awarded for flavour and mouthfeel.
