One of the world’s 16 best cheeses hails from Bapsfontein

Belnori Boutique Cheesery has put Bapsfontein, Ekurhuleni, on the culinary map after cleaning up at the 2018 annual World Cheese Awards in Bergen, Norway, at the start of November.

Belnori’s Kilembe, a hard, caprino-style goat cheese, was not only crowned Best South African Cheese, but also one of the top 16 cheeses in the world at this contest, which is billed as the “planet’s biggest ‘cheese-only’ competition”. That’s no small feat considering a record-breaking 3,472 cheeses from 41 countries were competing for top honours this year.

A panel of judges was given the enviable task of tasting all that cheese in order to dish out Bronze, Silver, Gold and Super Gold awards to worthy entries. A mere 78 cheeses were awarded Super Gold status.
