More than 4,400 cheeses from 42 countries are sniffed, prodded and savored as 250 international judges crown their favorite at the World Cheese Awards in Wales.
When you gather 4,434 cheeses from 42 countries in one room to find out which is best, there's inevitably a sense of excitement in the air. There is, of course, inevitably also a very, very powerful smell.
This year's winner, a gruyère from Switzerland, was eventually chosen by a panel of top judges after the field had been whittled down first to 98"super gold" champions and then to a final 16. The arduous work began shortly after 10 a.m. in the International Conference Centre on the outskirts of the Welsh city of Newport when the judges trooped into the main event hall to the lung-busting strains of a Welsh male voice choir.
