The first cheese map of Ukraine was presented in Kyiv as a unique analytical tool that systematically reflects the current state of Ukrainian cheese production, as well as a printed guide to recognized domestic cheeses for 2021-2025, according to Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture Taras Vysotsky.
“The map features 65 cheeses from different regions of Ukraine that have been recognized at national and international competitions. This is not just a visualization—it is a record of the development of the Ukrainian cheese industry in recent years,” he wrote on Facebook.
According to him, the cheese map demonstrates the regional diversity of Ukrainian cheeses, confirms the competitive quality of domestic producers, forms a holistic image of Ukraine as a cheese-producing country on the international arena, and becomes a benchmark for retail, HoReCa, media, and consumers.
“Ukrainian cheeses are now recognized at international competitions – this is already a trend, not just isolated successes. Our producers demonstrate quality that competes at the global level. It is important that projects such as the cheese map help to systematically shape Ukraine’s image as a cheese-producing country,” the deputy minister emphasized.
He also thanked the ProCheese and Ardis Group teams and partners for their work, which strengthens the agri-food sector and adds another important element to Ukraine’s brand.
