“One of the Best Apprentices in France - Cheesemaker”

The Cheese and Dairy Products Show will host the 3rd edition of the “One of The Best Apprentices - Cheeesemaker” Competition, organised by the French Cheese Federation, under the aegis of the Société nationale des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (Best French Tradespeople).

The competition aims to reward young cheesemakers-in-the-making and to stress the importance of passing on know-how. 

Skills are assessed on 3 challenges:

• General knowledge of the profession • Techniques and professionalism in the different presentations • Compliance with hygiene rules in line with current legislation.

The candidates can therefore show their potential as the cheesemakers of tomorrow, adapting to the new requirements of this profession and demonstrating the extent of their knowledge. This includes general knowledge about the product and related professions, technical mastery and professionalism during the presentations, and the indispensable compliance with hygiene rules and current legislation.
