Warning: this is my *cheesiest* post yet! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!)
My loyal readers know that I am very discerning when it comes to brand partnerships. I receive tons of pitches that range from not-quite-a-fit to wildly-inappropriate, and I don’t hesitate to decline…a lot.
However, when contacted with an opportunity share information about Canadian cheese…how could I say no? (Only chocolate would be a better fit for me!)
I’m a fan of Loblaws (I shared information about their super-convenient Click and Collect shopping option not long ago) and Loblaws is the destination to purchase award-winning Canadian cheese, including more than 15 of the Canadian Cheese Awards Champion and Finalist cheeses. (Yep, there are Canadian Cheese Awards! It’s the only cheese competition in Canada open to all milks used in cheese making – cow, goat, sheep and water buffalo – with only pure natural cheese accepted for judging.)
Some awards highlights:
- Cheese of the Year Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar, which also took home Best Aged Cheddar (aged more than 18 months) and Best B.C. Cheese
- Best Fresh Pasta Filata, President’s Choice® Formaggio di Bufala
- Best Feta/Cheese in Brine, President’s Choice® Feta Light
- Best Firm Cheese with Holes, Oka l’Artisan
- Best Old Cheddar (aged from 9 to 18 months) and Best Goat Cheese, Lindsay Bandaged Goat Cheddar
Loblaws stores feature 300-400 varieties of cheese available in-store (would you ever have guessed the number would be so high?), including the best of Canadian and international Cheddar, brie, feta and more, and Loblaws is celebrating the incredible Canadian cheese featured at the Annual Canadian Cheese Awards by sharing them with Ontario’s biggest cheese lovers.
