Vermont Cheesemakers Dominate National Awards | Montpelier News

Vermont’s artisan cheesemakers are dominating the national stage, sweeping 54 awards at the American Cheese Society’s prestigious competition — the cheese world’s Olympics. Fifteen creameries from the Green Mountain State earned top honors, including Jasper Hill Farm’s Winnimere, which took home first place and best in show. The Vermont Cheese Council stepped in to cover entry fees, helping local producers showcase their craft and get expert feedback. Beyond the big wins, Vermont also claimed numerous second- and third-place awards across cheeses, yogurts, and butters — proof that the state’s dedication to flavor and innovation is unmatched. With more cheese companies per capita than any other state and over 150 varieties produced, Vermont isn’t just winning — it’s setting the standard.
