Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery Gouda Wins Bronze at World Cheese Awards
Our award-winning Gouda cheese.
Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery’s Gouda cheese received a Bronze award at the prestigious World Cheese Awards, held in Trondheim, Norway on October 27, 2023.“This is the Olympics of cheesemaking and it is an extraordinary honor for our Gouda to receive a bronze award at this world class event,” said Ricardo Gutierrez, Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery Director. “The milk from our dairy farm and the expert craftsmanship of our cheesemaker are what makes this Gouda special, and we are pleased the world’s top judges agree,” he added. Celebrating its 35th year, the World Cheese Awards received over 4,000 cheese entries from 45 countries, with all cheese entries being judged on appearance, texture, aroma, and flavor by 250 expert judges from 38 countries throughout the world. Top cheesemakers from the U.S., France, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland competed along with many emerging cheesemaking markets including South Africa, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Milk for Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery Gouda and our other varieties comes exclusively from the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. “Milk from our historic Guernsey herd is the foundation of our cheese, and the flavor, texture and yield have surpassed all expectations,” said Brian Knox, President of the W.D. Hoard Company. “Our award-winning Gouda is made by master cheesemaker, Bruce Workman of Monticello, Wisconsin. It has a solid texture with an aromatic and sweet, caramel-like flavor when young that matures to a more savory, nutty character with age,” he added.Click HERE to learn more about Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery cheese, our historic farm’s Guernsey cows, and to order this award-winning Gouda cheese and other varieties online.
