On December 6th, an exceptional jury composed of 25 professionals from around the world gathered to select these nine products. In addition to cheesemongers and the management of the Cheese and Dairy Products Fair, the jury included representatives from the Belliard Vocational School, journalists, as well as representatives from Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine. The choice was particularly challenging, with 180 products in competition!
Ultimately, three countries well-known for their cheese heritage have won the jury's "Coups de Cœur": France, Italy, and Switzerland. A selection that rewards excellence, diversity, and the originality of cheeses and dairy products.
