Mondial du Fromage

The Mondial du Fromage et des Produits Laitiers (World Cheese and Dairy Products Trade Fair) is a biennial international trade show and cheese competition held in Tours, France.[1][2] It was first held in 2013.[3][4][5]

The contest is limited to 10 participants and is overseen by eight judges. The first task is to answer a 20 question written exam. Followed by a blind taste test of cheese, a challenge to cut four identical 250-gram pieces of cheese, and a five-minute oral presentation in which the competitors must share a favorite cheese with the judges.[6] In the second half of the competition, competitors must make a cheese plate.[6]

In 2025, an American won the prize for the first time.[7][8]
