Cypress Grove Chevre wins four awards at 26th annual American Cheese Society awards
Cypress Grove Chevre added four awards to its impressive and growing list of accolades at the recent 26th Annual American Cheese Society Awards. This year’s competition attracted a record number of entries—more than 1,400—from hundreds of U.S. cheesemakers.
“We were honored to win these awards at the 2010 American Cheese Society, particularly with the record number of cheeses entered this year,” said Cypress Grove Chevre Founder and Master Cheesemaker Mary Keehn.
In the Fresh Goat’s Milk Cheeses (no rind) category Cypress Grove Chevre was awarded first place for its Chevre Log and second place for its Natural, Fresh Chevre. The Northern California cheesemaker’s iconic Humboldt Fog in the one-pound “Mini” took third place in the Soft Ripened Open Category for Cheeses Made from Goat’s Milk. Truffle Tremor, one of the newest and most decorated cheeses from Cypress Grove Chevre, was awarded second place in the same category for Soft Ripened Flavor Added Goat Cheese
The 26th Annual American Cheese Society Judging & Competition, one of the largest competitions for American-made cheeses, took place August 24–25 at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel and culminated with the Awards Ceremony and Festival of Cheese on Saturday, August 28, 2010.
