The 2024 World Championship Cheese Contest results are rolling in, and a big congratulations goes out to big wins by Klondike Cheese Company, which took home one Best in Class title, two second place awards, and four third place honors.
“It is a great feeling to get the recognition and we hope that all our valued milk patrons and employees feel proud as everyone has an important hand in making this possible,” Steve Buholzer, Vice President and one of the five Master Cheesemakers at Klondike Cheese, commented on the news.
Adam Buholzer, Vice President of Production, reflected on the Best of Class honors, which went to the company’s Odyssey Labneh.
“This is perfect timing for our Labneh to receive this honor as at the beginning of this year we launched our retail Odyssey Labneh for consumers to buy. We couldn’t be prouder of the great taste and quality of our Labneh and that the judges agreed!” Buholzer said.
Additional accolades included:
This year marked the 35th bi-annual World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin. Proudly holding the title as the largest cheese contest of its kind, the event boasted a total of 3302 entries competing in 142 classes, with 400 dairy manufacturers from 25 countries and 32 American states entered.
Congratulations to the Klondike team for successfully standing out amid such a crowd!
