Two first-place medals will be calling LaClare Creamery their new home as the cheesemaker takes home the gold from this year’s 40th annual American Cheese Society (ACS) Competition.
“The entire LaClare Creamery team is thrilled to see this honor bestowed upon both our Fig & Honey Goat Cheese and Chipotle Honey Goat Cheese,” said Patrick Considine, National Sales Director. “Just back in March, our Fig & Honey Goat Cheese received first place at the 21st biennial U.S. Championship Cheese Contest, so seeing that our cheeses continue to get recognized as best-in-class across the dairy community affirms the value of our team’s hard work and dedication to fresh, clean flavors.”
LaClare earned awards for two of its first-place flavors, Fig & Honey Goat Cheese in the ‘Fresh Goat Cheese with Sweet Predominant Flavor’ category, and Chipotle Honey Goat Cheese in the ‘Fresh Goat Cheese with Savory Predominant Flavor’ category.
As noted in the release, ACS is one of the largest events of its kind for American-made cheeses. The ACS Awards are given to cheeses and cultured dairy products that achieve high technical excellence and exhibit the highest aesthetic qualities. Judges consist of various food professionals carefully selected from academia and the dairy sciences industry, as well as culture manufacturers, food retailers, distributors, and members of the food media.
