The Choscars at Fauvette
Three Exclusive Evenings. Six Awards. One Ultimate Winner.
This summer, Fauvette invites you to become part of our official judging panel for a brand new and gloriously indulgent event: The Choscars — our very own Cheese Oscars.
Over two evenings, guests will taste, score and debate a total of 18 cheeses, carefully selected across six award categories. Returning for a glamorous awards ceremony where the winners will finally be revealed.
Expect excellent cheese, flowing conversation, a touch of theatre and plenty of delicious surprises along the way.
The Two Judging Evenings
Wednesday 1st July — 6:30pm
Across the two evenings, our judging panel will taste and rate cheeses competing in the following categories:
- Best Newcomer
- Best Supporting Cheese
- Best Leading Cheese
- Most Dramatic Cheese
- Best Texture
- Best Washed Rind Performance
Guests will enjoy beautifully presented cheese boards with accompaniments and a glass of wine included on each evening. Additional drinks will also be available to purchase throughout the events.
Each participant will receive tasting and scoring materials to help decide which cheese deserves to take home a Choscar.
The Choscars Award Ceremony
