Eat some cheese. Have your say.
Hot off the heels of the first ever People's Cheese last year (formerly known as the Great British Cheddar Challenge), the competition is back for 2024.
PEOPLE'S CHEESE 2024
This year, the People's Cheese competition will bring you the pillars of British cheese – a group of traditional cheeses known as the ‘territorials’.
Cheddar, Stilton, Red Leicester, Caerphilly, Cheshire, Double Gloucester, Lancashire, Dunlop and Wensleydale are all in the mix, so we’re going to need to pace ourselves.
There’s going to be three rounds of judging and we need you every step of the way.
