2025 Los Angeles International Dairy Competition
Judging takes place Saturday, April 12, 2025

Setting the Gold Standard Since 1922

For the ancient Greeks, who started modern wine culture, competitions served to drive excellence and forge new connections among people. Today, competition can bring people together as they celebrate the best of the best – including wine, distilled beverages, aged cheeses and extra virgin olive oils.

For more than 100 years, the Los Angeles International Competitions have bestowed gold medals to the best wines, spirits, olive oils and dairy products from around the globe, showcasing the winners at the LA County Fair.

Judged by an array of the finest palates in the world, the ensuing scrutiny can result in catapulting a little-known product to worldwide fame or reiterate the staying power of a traditional label.
