The Quesos Mondion foundation from Victoria, Chile, achieved a historic milestone by winning a silver medal at the 20th National and International Cheese Competition held in Uruguay. The award was granted in the international category for “semi-hard cheeses for cooking” for their Raclette variety.

The competition featured over 400 samples evaluated by more than 60 national and international judges at the Technological University of Uruguay (UTEC).
