There were 148 press releases posted in the last 24 hours and 213,133 in the last 365 days.

Vermont cheese and butter makers won a total of 40 awards, including multiple firsts, at the American Cheese Society Awards.

In addition to the ACS awards, both Jasper Hill Farms and Vermont Creamery were able to earn medals in international competition.

The 125th International Cheese & Dairy Awards (link is external) was bigger and more international than ever before, featuring over 4,000 entries. The competing classes represented countries from all around the world. All entries were judged in a single day, as 238 experts considered appearance, texture, aroma, and flavor of the cheese, dairy and accompaniments. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Champion accolades were awarded first, before the Supreme Champions were reassessed to find this year’s trophy winners.
