Bothwell Cheese was awarded top marks for their Monterey Jack and Mild Cheddar cheese offerings at last year’s British Empire Cheese Show in Belleville, Ontario. They also took second place honours for their Muenster, and third place for their Parmesan.
“2016 marks the eightieth anniversary of our company and I’m proud to say that Bothwell is still a cheese that stands out in the industry,” says Bothwell Cheese President Kevin Thomson. “I’m personally quite pleased with our outcome at this show and that our attention to quality does not go unnoticed by our peers.”
Production Manager Nathan Dueck notes that the competition at this year’s show was exceptionally tough. “Despite the strong competition, we placed well in the specialty categories,” Dueck says. “Our team should be very proud of these accomplishments.”
The British Empire Cheese Show has a long and distinguished history and is presented by the Central Ontario Cheese Makers Association.
