For over 20 years the World Cheese Awards has been bringing together buyers and sellers from the dairy industry worldwide. It's the largest cheese competition in the world, attracting over 2,500 entries in 2009 from 34 countries and judged by over 150 expert buyers from every corner of the globe. It takes an entire day to judge, with a trade lunch thrown in, making this a place to do real business too.

The 2010 Awards took place at the UK's largest consumer food exhibition, the BBC Good Food Show, which was held at the NEC Birmingham from November 24-28.

It is the biggest and most cosmopolitan cheese festival ever staged in the UK, with almost 100,000 consumers tasting cheese after the international panel of experts have completed their judging.
