Mexico's Artisan Cheeses Shine with Six Medals at 2025 World Cheese Awards
Mexican cheeses have made a strong impression at the 2025 World Cheese Awards. Out of over 5,244 entries from 46 countries, the nation secured six medals—including one gold. Judges praised the quality of dairies from Jalisco and Querétaro in this year’s competition.
The top honour for Mexico went to Finca Las Luciérnagas Andante, a cheese from Huimilpan, Querétaro. It claimed both the Gold Medal and the title of Best Latin American Cheese. Meanwhile, three silver medals were awarded to cheeses from Jalisco: La Providencia Mozzarella, Quesos Navarro Panela, and Quesos Navarro Cheddar.
Quesos Navarro also earned a Bronze Medal for its Queso Fresco. The results followed assessments by 265 judges organised into 110 teams. While Mexico celebrated its successes, the overall winner was an 18-month-aged Gruyère AOP from Switzerland, crowned the world’s best cheese. All six of Mexico’s awards came from dairies in Jalisco, except for the gold-winning entry from Querétaro. The country’s cheeses stood out among thousands of competitors, reinforcing their growing reputation on the global stage.
The 2025 World Cheese Awards highlighted Mexico’s rising profile in artisanal cheese production. With one gold, three silvers, and two bronzes, its dairies proved their craftsmanship against international rivals. The recognition places Mexican cheeses firmly among the world’s finest.
