Bel scoops four International Cheese Awards

Its port salut smoked slices was judged to be best in the smoked cheese category, winning gold while Leerdammer light scoped silver in the convenience cheese category. But it was the soft and cream cheese category that saw Bel reign supreme, with boursin garlic and herb taking gold position closely followed by Kiri portions which scooped bronze. The Bel products were judged against a massive 3,240 cheeses from 24 different countries and were chosen by a panel of 140 dairy industry experts. Ian Greengrass, marketing director, Bel Foodservice UK said: "We are delighted to have the quality and flavour of our cheeses recognised at this world-renowned event." The awards, which took place on 27-28 July, are part of the Nantwich and South Cheshire Show.
