Mondial du Fromage
international trade show
The Mondial du Fromage et des Produits Laitiers (World Cheese and Dairy Products Trade Fair) is a biennial international trade show and cheese competition held in Tours, France. It was first held in 2013.
The contest is limited to 10 participants and is overseen by eight judges. The first task is to answer a 20 question written exam. This is followed by a blind taste test of cheese, a challenge to cut four identical 250-gram pieces of cheese and a five-minute oral presentation in which the competitors share a favorite cheese with the judges. In the second half of the competition, competitors must make a cheese plate.
In 2025, an American won the prize for the first time.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mondial du Fromage” as international trade show. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as international trade show. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q138565143. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2025.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
