Glanbia Ireland Winners at International Cheese and Dairy Awards

Glanbia Ireland Cheddar proved to be a top hit with the judges at this year's International Cheese and Dairy awards, scooping two gold, five silver and four bronze medals.

Glanbia Ireland also brought back home the Best Overseas Creamery/Block Cheddar award which positions us as a champion among world-class cheese producers. Our decades of cheese-making expertise were additionally recognised by winning the Kerrygold Trophy for Best Irish Cheddar for the third consecutive year.

Shane McDarby, Head of Category Cheese, commented,
"These awards are recognition of the dedication of our farmer milk suppliers and employees who strive daily to produce the highest quality, sustainable, grass-fed cheeses. As a food and nutrition business, we are committed to developing solutions for B2B and B2C customers that meet the taste, functionality, and ethical standards international consumers demand".
