Awarding of the 2026 'Alimentos de España' Best Cheeses Awards

This Order awards the prizes in the various categories of the 'Alimentos de España Mejores Quesos' competition for the year 2026, in accordance with the regulatory rules of Order APA/379/2023 (art. 7.5). It details the winners in the categories of matured cow, sheep, goat, mixed, and mould-ripened cheese, as well as a special award for the best cheese of the year (First). The resolution also accepts withdrawals and dismisses the remaining admitted applications (Second and Third).

In 3 key points

  1. The Special Award 'Alimentos de España to the Best Cheese 2026' is granted to 'Cremositos del Zújar' cheese (First). (Primero)
  2. An appeal for reversal may be filed before the Minister within one month from the day following publication (Fourth). (Cuarto)
  3. A challenge may be brought before the National High Court within two months if an express resolution is issued (Fourth). (Cuarto)

How it affects those involved

For participating companies in the dairy sector, the regulation formalises official recognition for the winning products, allowing their commercial use under the award seal. For unsuccessful applicants, the resolution exhausts administrative remedies, meaning only an appeal for reversal may be filed before the Minister or a contentious-administrative appeal before the National High Court (Fourth).
