Celebrating Welsh Cheese at the World Cheese Awards 2026

Deiniol | World Cheese Awards 2026 Cheese has always been an important part of what we do at Blas ar Fwyd. From working closely with some of Wales' brilliant independent cheesemakers to helping bring their products to a wider audience, it's a category we're incredibly proud to be part of.
 

So we're particularly proud to see our very own Deiniol heading to Córdoba, Spain, to take his place on the judging panel at the World Cheese Awards 2026.
 

It's quite a task ahead of him! This year's competition brings together more than 5,000 cheeses from over 40 countries, making it the world's largest cheese-only competition. It's a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the craft, creativity and passion that goes into cheesemaking, with some of the finest cheeses from around the world being put to the test.
 

For us, it's also a wonderful opportunity to shine a light on the quality of Welsh cheese and the talented producers working across Wales. We've always believed that Welsh cheesemakers deserve recognition on the world stage, and it's great to see that passion for quality and good food reflected in an event of this scale.
 

Having spent so much time working with Welsh cheese producers and championing their products, Deiniol will certainly have plenty to look forward to – and plenty of tasting to get through!
 

We're delighted to see him representing Blas ar Fwyd at such a prestigious international event.
 

Pob lwc, Deiniol – enjoy the judging! 🧀
