British and Irish Cheese Awards 2025

This year, the Bath & West Food & Drink Festival is hosting the British and Irish Cheese Awards 2025.

The British & Irish Cheese Awards is the UK and Ireland’s leading cheese and dairy products awards scheme, judging hundreds of entries each year that represent over 75% of the nations’ producers.

Bringing cheesemakers, cheesemongers, farmers, retailers and buyers together on the judging panel, the British & Irish Cheese Awards assesses entries in a wide range of traditional categories, awarding Bronze, Silver and Gold prizes, as well as trophies for the stand-out cheese in each category and each country. Following a busy day of judging, the Supreme Champion and Reserve Champion are announced that evening at the British & Irish Cheese Awards Dinner.

The British & Irish Cheese Awards 2025 judging will take place on Friday 21 March, with tastings and tours on offer throughout the Bath & West Food & Drink Festival. The British & Irish Cheese Awards are open for entry until 17 February. britishcheeseawards.com
