Vermont Cheesemakers Win Big At the
American Cheese Society Competition
 Vermont Cheesemakers once again shined at the American Cheese Society annual meeting bringing home 32 ribbons and Third Place for Best of Show from the Austin, Texas competition held on August 7, 2009. There were 1,327 entries in the cheese competition and to achieve a blue ribbon in this competition is a great honor and a marketing bonanza. Vermont cheeses and butters garnered 13 blue ribbons, 12 red ribbons and 7 white ribbons. Consider Bardwell Farm in Pawlet, Vermont was awarded Third Place for Best of Show, for their Rupert washed rind cheese.
Vermont received more blue ribbons than ever this year! The state was shy of most overall ribbons, but received the most 1st place ribbons. Vermont was almost perfectly honored: ribbons were earned by 15 of the 17 companies who had product in the competition. See the results of how Vermont Cheesemakers did in the competition.
Vermont was also represented with a judge for this competition. There were 28 judges, 14 for aesthetics and 14 for technical merit of the cheeses and butter. Marc Druart was a technical judge from the Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese located at the University of Vermont.
See the entire results of the competition at the American Cheese Society web site.
