Oregon’s Rogue Creamery and its award-winning Rogue River Blue Cheese just got mentioned in Janet Fletcher’s wonderful cheese column in the San Francisco Chronicle. She also noted Cowgirl Creamery‘s Red Hawk Cheese, which took second place overall in the recent American Cheese Society competition and has won Best of Show in the past.
In addition to the traditional dairy states — Wisconsin, California, Vermont, New York — that are associated with award-winning cheese, Fletcher noted that ACS ribbons were spread around to some relative newcomer states, like Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Texas and Utah. Good news for U.S. cheese production (and enjoyment)? One can only hope.
