Laura Chenel, America’s trailblazing goat cheese producer, is honored to announce its outstanding achievements at the World Cheese Awards 2024. The prestigious event hosted annually by the Guild of Fine Food, recognized Laura Chenel’s artisan goat cheese with medal awards including Silver for Creamy Original Spreadable Goat Cheese, and Bronze for Creamy Brie, Garlic & Chive Fresh Goat Cheese—for the second consecutive year—and Jalapeño Chili Marinated Goat Cheese.
“We’re incredibly proud to see some of our favorite flavored cheeses, like our Garlic & Chive Fresh Goat Cheese, continue to earn award-winning recognition, while our pure goat milk and aged cheeses also get honored for freshness and skill of craft,” said Durae Hardy, Director of Marketing. “This recognition reflects the dedication and care we put into every batch—from sourcing premium goat milk from family-owned farms to the expertise of our cheesemakers. These awards inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation and excellence, while staying committed to delivering the highest quality cheeses to our customers across the country.”
A total of 240 judges from 39 countries, divided into 104 teams, took on the challenge of determining which entries deserved accreditation. The panel included experts from various industry disciplines, such as graders, buyers, chefs, producers, retailers, technologists, journalists, and influencers. This year’s competition was the largest yet, with 1,032 companies participating globally. Cheeses were meticulously evaluated based on rind and paste appearance, aroma, body, texture, and, most importantly, flavor and mouthfeel.
