In England, more cheese needs to be eaten. Will you join in?
Look, we do want to stay fit and healthy during these corona times and pay a little attention to all the tasty things we’re stuffing away, but when we’re asked to eat more British cheese, we’re certainly not going to be difficult…
Since the coronavirus crisis, many countries have been dealing with food surpluses. The potato farmers’ storage sheds in the Netherlands and Belgium are full of rotting potatoes, and the aubergine growers also have the best vegetable in the world in abundance. Earlier, people were already urged to eat more French cheese, and now disaster is striking British cheesemakers.
Online Cheese Awards
At cheese farms throughout Great Britain, thousands of litres of milk have ended up down the drain in recent months. Because many restaurants and cafés also had to close here (and some are still closed), a large part of sales has disappeared. To lend the cheesemakers a helping hand, the world’s first online Cheese Awards will therefore be held on 18 July.
Eat more British cheese!
By holding the Virtual Cheese Awards, the organisers hope to encourage the public to eat more British cheese (oh, cheddar!) and keep the great British community alive. The country is bursting with delicious cheeses, each with a unique and fascinating story. And as cheese fanatics, that’s certainly no problem for us. Straight from the hand, or cheddar as an ingredient in a Tuna Melt…
Live
During the event, you can follow the cheese experts’ evaluations live, gain access to a cheese-tasting masterclass, get a glimpse into the history of British cheese and, of course, find out which cheese is announced as the Best British Cheese. Registration is free, in exchange for a small donation to the cheesemakers.
