We are so excited to see many of our favourite BC cheeses on the finalist list.
Cheese makers from British Columbia to PEI submitted 268 cheeses in 27 different categories in the esteemed Canadian cheese competition. A panel of experts gathered in Montreal for a closed door session on February 21st and 22nd and selected 81 finalists that truly exemplify the world-class calibre of cheese being produced in Canada today.
Three BC cheesemakers are among the 2015 finalists:
| Cheesemaker | Cheese |
| Bella Stella Cheese |
|
| Natural Pastures Cheese Company |
|
| The Farm House Natural Cheeses |
(Grand Prix 2015 winner)

Winners were announced at the Gala of Champions, in Toronto, on April 22nd, 2015. Congratulations to Natural Pastures Cheese Company and The Farm House Natural Cheeses for winning each in two categories.
