Sark takes home a gold medal

Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery’s Sark cheese won first place at the U.S. Champion Cheese Contest (USCCC) held March 4-6 in Green Bay, Wis.

As the nation’s premier technical cheese, butter, and yogurt competition, the USCCC honors the best of entries from within a variety of categories, from mild cheddar to mixed milk cheeses and everything in between.

Sark, named for the island of Sark off the coast of Guernsey Island in the English channel, is a triple cream butterkäse cheese. It won “Best in Class” for semi-soft cheeses.
