The 35th edition of the unique cheese-only competition in the world, first held in 1988, took place in Trondheim, Norway, on Friday, 27th October.
This year saw a record number of cheeses entered - 4,502, from 43 countries - which were judged by an international panel of 264 judges from 38 nations. These included some of the most knowledgeable professionals in the cheese industry, as well as food journalists, retail buyers and experts in other food categories, to make sure the cheeses were assessed with rigour and roundedness.
The event was held at the Spektrum indoor arena, as part of Oste-VM festival - a trade conference and consumer event all about cheese taking place on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th October. The public were given access to the venue, allowing them to see the judging arena, and visit exhibitors at the World Cheese Market.
A soft blue farmhouse cheese made two hours from Trondheim has been named World Champion Cheese at the World Cheese Awards (WCA) 2023, hosted in the central Norwegian city.
Named after the Trøndelag county river, Nidelven Blå is made by third generation farmers, husband and wife Maren and Ole Gangstadt at Gangstadt Gårdsysteri.
The handmade, cows’ milk blue mould cheese, which is aged for six to nine months, is already their best-selling cheese - in part, thanks to its successes at previous World Cheese Awards: it won the Best Norwegian cheese in 2019, and a Super Gold in 2020.
