Futura Foods is all smiles after celebrating coming away with 11 awards at this year’s International Cheese Awards, Nantwich, Cheshire.
The annual awards are considered the crème de la crème in the industry, playing host to over 5,600 cheeses over the two-day event.
Futura’s Feta Cubes in Brine and 18 Month Grana Padano both received prestigious Golds whilst a total of five cheeses including Gran Levanto Italian Vegetarian Hard Cheese and Sheep’s Milk Cheese with Pedro Ximenez were awarded with a Silver medal. A further five cheeses came away with a Bronze Award or Very Highly Commended. The success of individual cheeses was only bolstered by the Futura team coming away with The Clawson Trophy for the Best Branded Packaging in Show – testament to the continual hard work behind the scenes at Futura HQ.
John Steele, National Account Manager, Futura Foods, commented: “2017 has been another successful year for us at the International Cheese Awards. The Awards are a real highlight in the Futura calendar – a time when everyone working in the industry comes together to celebrate the best cheeses in the country. To come away with 11 awards is an achievement all of us at Futura Foods are hugely proud of and rest assured we will be back in 2018 to put our cheeses to the test once more.”
