WHO WE ARE

The Cheese Institute is an organization that collaborates with private and public institutions to define sector strategies and business positioning.

From science and technology to specialized consulting, it boasts a significant network of synergies with private companies, key influencers, and public institutions at both the national and international levels. The Cheese Institute is the promoter of the International Cheese Festival, an event held in various European cities to date, with the commitment to boost the national dairy sector in terms of growth, brand strategy, project development, commercial consolidation, and the opening of new markets, and to position Córdoba as the World Cheese Capital 2026.

The Cheese Institute, in collaboration with public and private entities in the Region of Andalusia, has secured Córdoba as the host city for WCA 2026 within the framework of the International Cheese Festival.

The Cheese Institute, the WCA Technical Secretariat in Spain, assumes the functions of Festival Management, ensuring the smooth running of the competition, maximizing the strategic impact of the international event, and fulfilling the reciprocal mission for all organizations participating in this project.
