2<\/span>020… what a year. Typically, this issue highlights award-winning cheeses from the past 12 months. Our staff would usually attend competitions, taste the contenders, and curate a list of best-of-the-best, compiling our favorites into a lengthy feature story celebrating innovation and timelessness in the world of curd. But this year, we\u2019ve had to re-evaluate that concept. How could we select winners from non-existent competitions? Our expert and non-expert cheese lovers decided to create our own awards, from \u201cbest guilty-pleasure cheese<\/a>\u201d to \u201cbest cheeses to pair with bubbles<\/a>.\u201d We\u2019ve selected winning cheeses from past years\u2014as well as from the 2020 World Championship of Cheese and sofi Awards\u2014to cover categories that we hope bring comfort, relatability, and joy during this unprecedented time. So, grab a glass of whatever soothes you and peruse our wide-ranging list of cheeses we think deserve a place at your table, to be nibbled while watching (yet another) Netflix series, or shared with the folks in your bubble.<\/p>\n
