Dalewood Fromage Huguenot wins Super Gold Medal We are extremely proud to announce that our Huguenot® has been awarded a Super Gold Medal at the World Cheese Awards 2010 held this year in Birmingham, U.K. Kobus Mulder of Agri Expo had the following to say, "Well done to the cheese maker and affineur at Dalewood Fromage; the Super Gold medal awarded to their Huguenot during the initial judging round pushed it through to the second round of 47 cheeses from where it was selected for the final round of 14 cheeses. During this round, the 15 international judges from 11 countries on The Supreme Panel, in their "wisdom", decided that the Cornish Blue should be crowned the World Champion for 2010". "Judges consisted mainly of cheese makers, cheese buyers of supermarkets (Whole Food Market and Tesco), speciality food shops (Partridges and Paxton & Whitfield), cheese scientists and food journalists. Most of these judges come across good cheeses in their everyday commercial life and were looking for the "Wow" factor during judging. They appeared to be stricter and were expecting cheeses to surprise them with exceptional flavour and texture qualities before awarding a medal". "Hosted at the BBC Good Food Show on 24th November 2010, 201 judges from 19 different countries judged 2 629 cheeses from 29 countries". In addition Huguenot® won the Agri Expo Trophy for the Best South African cheese on the show.

Dalewood Fromage cheese maker, Nellie Fischer, was chosen to participate in the "Cheese makers Fellowship" in Burgundy at the end of last year. This is a joint initiative sponsored by the Western Cape Government & the Regional Council of Burgundy. The trip is organised by Agri-Expo South Africa & Kobus Mulder, South Africa's greatest cheese ambassador. Nellie spent three invaluable weeks learning about cheese making; both in theory & in practice. She had the opportunity of visiting many famous cheeseries in Burgundy. She returned with a certificate of achievement. We are very proud of her.
