Traditional Alpencheddar takes Gold at the ICDA 2025!
We're thrilled to announce that our Traditional Alpencheddar has just taken home Gold at the ICDA 2025!
Crafted with care, aged to perfection, and now officially award-winning - this is a huge honour for us and a proud moment for The Grand Gourmand.
Thank you to the International Cheese & Dairy Awards for this incredible recognition, and to you, our cheese-loving community, for always supporting the journey.
The traditional Alpencheddar is a high alpage Swiss cooked cheese, made with raw cow milk produced at 1508m above the sea level on the Swiss Alpes. The traditional cheesemaking technique makes this cheese unique and produces in small batches.
The 2024 and 2025 vintages have sold out; we are now taking orders for the 2026 vintage available in September 2026.
