Marin French Cheese, the country’s oldest cheese company based in Marin County in Northern California, is honored to announce its outstanding achievements at the World Cheese Awards 2024. The prestigious event hosted annually by the Guild of Fine Food recognized Marin French Cheese’s artisan soft-ripened cheeses with four medal awards, including Gold for Petite Suprême and Golden Gate—which achieved its first-ever Gold after earning Bronze the past two years—and Bronze for Petite Camembert and Petite Truffle.
“Our whole team is thrilled to have Marin French Cheese products recognized on the world’s stage, especially among such an impressive array of cheeses entered into this year’s World Cheese Awards,” says Bonnie Kaufman, Brand Manager. “This honor reflects the dedication, passion, and creativity that our team brings to cheesemaking. As we approach our 160th anniversary of crafting soft-ripened cheeses in our original West Marin creamery, we are committed to preserving our rich traditions while embracing innovation. This recognition means so much to us and fuels our drive to continue crafting exceptional cheeses that inspire, delight, and bring people together.”
A total of 240 judges from 39 countries, divided into 104 teams, took on the challenge of determining which entries deserved accreditation. The panel included experts from various industry disciplines, such as graders, buyers, chefs, producers, retailers, technologists, journalists, and influencers. This year’s competition was the largest yet, with 1,032 companies participating globally. Cheeses were meticulously evaluated based on rind and paste appearance, aroma, body, texture, and, most importantly, flavor and mouthfeel.
Marin French Cheese has been a pioneer in the cheesemaking industry since 1865 and is known for its exceptional cheeses that consistently surprise and delight cheese enthusiasts and experts alike, added a press release. Marin French Cheese’s soft ripened cheeses can be purchased at a selection of specialty grocers and cheese shops nationwide, found on the store locator on the website, or on Northbay Creameries.
