About the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix Awards
Now in its 8th edition, the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix honours our Canadian cheese makers, giving them the opportunity to showcase the expertise and passion they invest in their craft.
Dairy Farmers of Canada is sponsoring a nationwide competition to honour all categories of Canadian cheeses made from 100% Canadian cow’s milk and certified as such. This event was launched in 1998 to encourage competitiveness and product excellence, as well as to increase the knowledge and appreciation of Canadian cheeses among industry professionals and consumers.
