Artikaas, imported exclusively by Dutch Cheese Makers, has once again cemented its place as a leader in Dutch cheesemaking with a stellar performance at the 2024 World Cheese Awards. Building on its history of excellence, Artikaas won multiple awards this year, including a Gold Medal for Holy Sheep, a two-time World Cheese Awards winner that continues to impress judges with its creamy texture and nutty flavor.
"The recognition of Holy Sheep as a two-time winner and the continued success of Vintage Lot 18 speaks volumes about the talent of our team in the Netherlands," says Jessica Frey, Marketing Director of Dutch Cheese Makers. "This has truly been a golden year for Artikaas, and we’re thrilled to see our cheeses celebrated on an international stage."
Artikaas’ reputable Vintage Lot 18 took home a Gold Medal, alongside its 36-month-aged sibling, Vintage Lot 36, showcasing Artikaas’ mastery in crafting extraordinary aged Gouda. This marks yet another milestone for Vintage Lot 18, which was named First Runner-Up at the 2024 World Cheese Championship Contest earlier this year.
As a press release announced, the cheesemaker took home the following awards during the competition:

The 2024 World Cheese Awards received thousands of entries from over 40 countries, emphasizing its status as a global event. Artikaas’ success further underscores the brand’s commitment to producing premium Dutch cheeses for cheese lovers around the globe.
