Taste may be subjective but that doesn't stop us from trying to determine the best foods and hand out awards for them. Last week brought the
2007 World Cheese Awards in England. Over 2,000 cheeses from around the world were evaluated by around 120 judges who painstakingly tasted and evaluated the cheeses based on texture, aroma, looks, and of course, taste. The judges narrow the cheeses, choosing gold, silver and bronze award winners, 13 trophy winners and the world champion. So what's the best cheese in the world this year? The honor went to the Brie de Meaux from
Renard Gillard. The World Cheese Awards site has a list of the rest of the winners if you are interested in conducting a little taste test of your own.
