Score another win for the fine cheeses from Coach Farm. At the 2008 World Championship Cheese Contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association, a panel of international judges named Coach Farm's Triple Cream Wheel as Best of Class in the Surface (Mold) Ripened Goat's Milk Cheeses category.
Since first introduced more than twenty years ago, Coach Farm cheeses have consistently won awards and honors at competitions across the country. As a result, gaining recognition from food professionals and enthusiasts, as well as a large, loyal following.
Overall, U.S. cheese makers dominated the World Championship competition, earning gold medals in 46 of the 77 categories judged, including gold medals in both butter classes and in the retail packaging class. Coach Farm's winner was one of only five gold medals awarded to cheeses from New York State.
This isn't the first time that Coach Farm's Triple Cream Cheese Wheel has been in the winner's circle. The cheese took first place at the American Cheese Society awards in 2006, and was a finalist at the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) awards in 2003.
