St. Savior and Governor's Select earn international awards

Fort Atkinson, WI – Two Hoard's Dairyman Farm Creamery cheese varieties were among the elite winners at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards, held in Staffordshire, England, in July.

The competition is fierce, with over 5,500 entries competing, with only one Gold, Silver, and Bronze awarded in each category. For over 125 years, the best cheese makers in the world have vied for the honors received at this event.

Wisconsin is always a strong contender. It is the only state that requires a license to make cheese and is the only place outside of Switzerland with a Master Cheesemaker program. So, it is no surprise that the America's Dairyland ranks at the top of several divisions.

St. Saviour, a camembert-style cheese has received several international accolades in cheese competitions. At this global event, St. Saviour won the Silver Award in the "Best USA Cheese/Soft/Semi-Soft” category. It was applauded for its rich, buttery flavor.

The Bronze Award in the “Best USA Cheese/Mature Cheddar” category was earned by newcomer, Hoard's Dairyman's Governor's Select Sharp White Cheddar. This cheddar has a sharp cheddar flavor with buttery-creamy background notes.
