International Cheese and Dairy Awards

Welcome

The International Cheese and Dairy Awards Enters Its 128th Year in 2025

Continuing the celebration of cheese and dairy, the International Cheese and Dairy Awards (ICDA) brings together passionate people from all over the world in one location. As the oldest awards of its type in the world, we are thrilled that you are with us and part of our rich heritage.

The International Cheese & Dairy Awards (ICDA), along with the Cheese Board Awards, are delighted to welcome you back to enter your products at our Show on 25th – 26th June 2025.

The International Cheese and Dairy Expo will take place at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire County Showground, in a purpose-built, weather-protected venue.

In addition to the Cheese & Dairy Classes, we will see the continuation of the Cheese Board Awards, celebrating all food and drink products typically consumed with cheese. 2025 will feature around 50 classes of everything that accompanies cheese.

We are looking forward to the 2025 Awards and welcoming entries from both existing and new producers!
