Son Alzina's Semi-Cured Cheese Wins a Silver Medal at the 2026 World Cheese Awards

Son Alzina's four-month-aged semi-cured cheese has been awarded a silver medal at the 2026–2027 World Cheese Awards, one of the most prestigious international competitions in the cheese industry, held in Córdoba, Andalusia.

The award recognises the cheese produced by Son Alzina, which competed against cheeses from other regions and countries in a competition dedicated to evaluating the quality and characteristics of cheeses.

The distinction was awarded specifically to its semi-cured cheese matured for four months, a product that reflects the efforts of Menorcan producers to achieve high-quality products rooted in the island's livestock farming and cheesemaking traditions.

The World Cheese Awards are organised by The Guild of Fine Food and provide an international platform for recognising and promoting cheeses, bringing together producers from different countries.

This silver medal represents another achievement for Menorca's cheesemaking sector, which continues to receive distinctions at international competitions.

The award received by Son Alzina helps raise the profile of Menorca's artisanal production and the gastronomic value of its cheeses, which are closely linked to the island's rural landscape and livestock farming activities.
