Lactalis American Group either needs to start clearing out a large space in its trophy case or build a new shelf altogether, as the company was recently recognized at The Guild of Fine Foods World Cheese Awards. In total, the supplier brought home a total of seven medals from the prestigious global cheese-only event.
“As our Galbani brand celebrates its 140th anniversary this year, it was an honor to have seven of our products recognized among the top cheeses internationally,” said Jean-Luc Bruandet, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lactalis American Group. “It’s also a testament to our dedicated employees who are committed to producing nutritious and great-tasting cheese every day.”
The event was held in November in Wales, United Kingdom, according to a release, and saw a record-breaking 4,434 cheeses submitted from 43 countries and 900 companies from around the world. Cheesemakers, cheesemongers, buyers, chefs, retailers, and writers scored the cheeses on aspects including the appearance of the rind and paste, aroma, body, texture, flavor, and mouthfeel.
All seven winning Galbani brand cheeses were produced at Lactalis’ Nampa, Idaho plant. The awards include:
In total, Lactalis American Group cheeses have won a total of 58 medals at four prestigious cheese competitions held both in the United States and abroad to date this year.
Cheers to Lactalis on another impressive performance!
