"This is the first competition this year and the continuation of last year's "good harvest " of awards in the world of cheeses! We are happy because lesser-known cheeses such as the naturally smoked Kordunski cheese receive awards and also, this is a confirmation of the quality and a great tribute to the creators of these ideas. We emphasize that affinated cheeses have been rewarded again in Wisconsin, two years ago, the best cheese in its class was Žigljen affinated in wine press, and this year it was Dinarski affinated in wine press! We are proud to have successfully presented Croatia and the island of Pag this time in the cheese-making world!
