WELCOME TO THE

VIRTUAL CHEESE AWARDS 2021

Celebrating the best of British & Irish Cheese

The Virtual Cheese Awards was launched in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic to promote and celebrate the fantastic British cheese industry in their time of great need.

​

Although the 2020 Awards were organised very quickly, it still attracted over 300 entries and helped raise awareness of some fantastic British cheeses and the people who make them. All the profits from the event were donated to support cheesemakers and farming charities.

Our purpose and mission is:

- To create a sustainable, inclusive and transparent virtual cheese awards that support and celebrate British and Irish cheesemakers, from the grassroots up

- Create an online cheese awards that is focused on celebrating the diversity and quality of British and Irish dairy as well as nurturing talent to help promote a sustainable and thriving industry to consumers

- Generate publicity and awareness for the entrants

- Provide detailed and transparent feedback to cheese producers from the industries leading experts

- Support the British and Irish cheese industry by donating profits to charities supporting dairies, farmers and makers
