A GLOBAL cheese competition, held in Somerset, is set to return this September - with a focus on artisan producers. The Global Cheese Awards, part of The Frome Agricultural and Cheese Show, has been held every year since 1861 (apart from 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic). And this year, to help the recovery of the specialist cheesemaker community, the Global Cheese Awards held in Frome are becoming more relevant to smaller, artisan producers. Chris Stilton, Chairman for 13 years, is stepping down. And to reflect the more artisan approach, Marcus Fergusson, a local cheesemaker at Feltham’s Farm, has become the new Chairman.
