The World Cheese Awards, now in its 37th edition, opened in Switzerland on Thursday, immediately assaulting the senses with its distinctive aroma.
More than just a competition, the event is a grand celebration of all things fromage, though some attendees might have wished for offerings with a few more holes to dilute the potent atmosphere. With olfactory descriptions ranging from "stinky socks" to "sick dog," it’s clear this festival is as much a challenge for the nose as it is a delight for the palate, touch, and sight.
