Ukraine unveils first cheese map and printed guide for 2021-2025
The first cheese map of Ukraine was presented in Kyiv as a unique analytical tool systematically reflecting the current state of Ukrainian cheesemaking, as well as a printed guide to recognized domestically produced cheeses from 2021-2025, announced Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture Taras Vysotsky.
"The map features 65 cheeses from various regions of Ukraine, recognized at national and international competitions. This isn't just a visualization—it charts the development of the Ukrainian cheese industry over recent years," he wrote on Facebook.
According to him, the cheese map showcases the regional diversity of Ukrainian cheeses, confirms the competitive quality of domestic producers, creates a holistic image of Ukraine as a cheese country on the international stage, and becomes a reference point for retail, HoReCa, the media, and consumers.
"Ukrainian cheeses are now recognized at international competitions—this is a sustainable trend, not just isolated successes. Our producers demonstrate quality that competes globally. It's important that projects like the cheese map help systematically shape Ukraine's image as a cheese country," the Deputy Minister emphasized.
He also thanked the teams at ProCheese, Ardis Group, and their partners for their work strengthening the agri-food sector and adding another important element to Ukraine's brand.
