At Alimentaria, Granja Rinya will present its Homenaje and Carmen cheeses, winners at the 2023-2024 World Cheese Awards
World cheese champions
Granja Rinya will attend Alimentaria with the endorsement of the recognition of its cheeses at the 2034-2024 World Cheese Awards held in Norway. The Capricho Homenaje soft cheese won the super gold medal as one of the best cheeses in the world and the award for the best cheese in Spain, while the 1.1 kg Homenaje won the silver medal.
Moreover, the international competition endorsed the Carmen range of cheeses, with a silver medal for the sheep’s milk cheese cured with black garlic and bronze medals for the Manchego DOP Viejo and the artisan mature LC (cow-sheep).
Capricho Homenaje is a soft cheese made solely with pasteurised cow’s milk that quickly matures. It’s presented in a 150 g format wrapped in paper and in a display box containing six units.
It has a highly characteristic flavour and aroma inspired by Swiss cheese Tomme Vaudoise and it’s a unique product in Spain. This cheese gains character and creaminess throughout its shelf life (21 days), in such a way that it almost becomes spreadable by the end of it. It can be kept cooled, but it’s advisable to remove it from the fridge 10 minutes before consumption.
