Awarded-Winning Cheeses
At the Cheese Lover Shop, we’re thrilled to share some of the best, most delicious cheese out there—and we aren’t the only ones who think so. The following cheeses in our shop have won prestigious awards on a global level, earning a spot at your table.
French Cheeses that have earned a cheese award
Known as some of the best in the world for good reason, several of our French cheeses have won acclaim, including the fondant Saint Agur, the creamy Saint Andre, the ever-loved Ile de France Brie, and Esquirrou Ossau-Iraty.
Award-winning American Cheeses
Not to be overshadowed by their French cousins, some of the world’s best specialty cheeses are made in America. In recent years, delicious cheeses from creameries like Supreme and Dorothy’s have caught the attention of judges. One of our top sellers, Dorothy’s Diggin’ Truffles, was recently awarded the 2021 sofi™ Award for best new product in the cow’s milk cheese category. It’s a must-try, with a creamy, brie-like texture and earthy notes of black truffles.
