We are delighted to announce that Curd & Cure has secured the only UK stock of the newly crowned 2025 World Champion Cheese, Le Gruyère AOP Vorderfultigen Spezial, 18 months.
Produced by Switerland’s Bergkäserei Vorderfultigen, this classic Le Gruyère was crowned the Best Cheese in the World at the 37th World Cheese Awards organised by the Guild of Fine Food.
Beating more than 5,000 global entries to claim the most prestigious award in the industry, judges praised the cheese’s beautiful, crystalline texture and brothy, meaty umami flavour.
With the support of European Fine Cheese and our relationship with Gourmino, the prestigious Swiss Cheese Affineur that focuses on aging high-quality fine cheeses, Curd & Cure are the first UK wholesaler to secure this cheese in 2025.
It’s arrival in the UK marks a significant moment for buyers, retailers and food service operators seeking standout products with true world-class pedigree. Initial allocations were met with overwhelming demand and sold out within minutes.
Sales Manager and Head of Cheese at Curd & Cure, Patrick Spinazza said “We are absolutely thrilled to bring the world’s best cheese to the UK market. Securing the UK’s only stock is a major milestone for Curd & Cure and for our trade customers. It reflects our commitment to bringing the finest, most exceptional cheese to the UK market. This Le Gruyère doesn’t just taste incredible, it represents everything great cheese making should be – craftsmanship, heritage and unmistakable quality.”
We will be taking pre-orders for Spring 2026 allocation. Given the international demand for the World’s Best Cheese, interested buyers are encouraged to register their interest early by contacting Patrick Spinazza on 07745203032.
