Cheesemakers scoop a bronze at the World Cheese Awards.
The accolade for Mrs. Bell�s Blue, traditionally handmade with locally sourced ewe�s milk and named after founder Judy Bell, was in the blue vein cheese, uncut, foil-wrapped category.
The win marks the fourth award this year for the cheese, which also took gold in the British Cheese Awards
The World Cheese Awards, run by the UK�s Guild of Fine Food, were held in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, which is only the second time they have gone outside Britain in their 21-year history.
More than 150 judges from 24 countries sampled 2,440 entries from 34 countries to choose the winners. About 140 received gold awards.
Mrs Bell said �We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded bronze at the prestigious World Cheese Awards. It continues to pick up award after award for its fabulous taste and I am so proud to have my name on it and win on the world stage.�
