Gouda Cheese Awards 2020

On Friday 4 September, we had the honour of making the Experience available for the 2020 Cheese Awards finals. An experience we look back on with pride!

Gouda Cheese Awards 2020

The annual event has become an online home judging test due to corona measures. With the jury from the Experience and 50 cheese lovers who tasted and judged from home. Through the livestream, people could watch the presentation at the Gouda Cheese Experience.

During the finale, you were introduced to the Experience through a tour by Frau Antje, who immediately provided you with some knowledge about the making of Gouda Cheese. You can watch Frau Antje's tour below.
