Fairview takes home three international awards

Fairview’s Chevre Roue

Now in its 29th year, the World Cheese Awards is the world’s largest cheese competition, with 3,021 different cheeses judged by over 260 cheese connoisseurs from every corner of the globe, including cheesemakers, technical experts, buyers, retailers and food writers. Judges looked at the rind and body of the cheese, its colour, texture, consistency and most importantly, its taste and awarded gold, silver or bronze ratings.

Fairview’s Chevre Roue, a robust goat’s milk cheese was awarded a gold rating. Its Botham’s Cremezola Blue, a creamy, gorgonzola-style cheese, won a silver rating while the Saint Louis, a white mould cheese made from Jersey milk, received a bronze rating.

“We are proud to have been recognised internationally and are pleased to be able to offer our loyal South African customers an award-winning range of cheeses,” says Fairview’s owner, Charles Back. “We’re the only South African cheese company specified by Air France and now you know why.”

The Chevre Roue, Botham’s Cremezola Blue and Saint Louis cheeses are available exclusively at Woolworths nationwide and the Fairview Deli on the Fairview Estate in Paarl. For more information, go to Fairview.co.za.
