Bern, Switzerland: A Swiss Gruyere was crowned the 2025 World Cheese Champion on Thursday, seeing off competition from more than 5,000 rivals from 46 countries.
The 18-month-old Vorderfultigen Spezial produced by Bergkaserei Vorderfultigen won the title at the World Cheese Awards, held in the Swiss capital Bern.
The winning cheese came from a mountain dairy in the pre-Alps region of Gantrisch, just south of Bern.
Grand final judge Perry Wakeman said it was the kind of cheese "that would make people get excited about cheese".
"It's a big old cheese -- there's a lot going on. The texture is beautiful: it's flinty as you break it apart; the crystalline in there are so delicate," he said.
