Four Israeli dairies won a total of 15 medals in the annual international Mondial du Fromage cheese competition in the city of Tours, France earlier this month.

Almost 1,900 cheeses were presented to a jury of nearly 320 international professionals on Sep. 14-16, according to the competition’s website.

Organized together with the International Cheesemongers Guild, the competition is “an opportunity to showcase expertise, respect for traditions, strive for excellence and demonstrate creativity and innovation.”
