A first-place win for 1976 Reserve Gouda, second-place for Cheddar Cheese Curds and Quark Cheese, and a third-place win for Buffalo Ranch Cheese Curds.
LATROBE, PA, September 6, 2023 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — The Creamery at Pleasant Lane Farms won big at the recent World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest, taking home four medals, including a first-place win for its 1976 Reserve Gouda with an impressive score of 99.9.
Latrobe, Pennsylvania’s Farmstead Creamery and Dairy placed 2nd place with its Cheddar Cheese Curds, 3rd place for its Buffalo Ranch Cheese Curds, and another 2nd place for its German-style spreadable Quark Cheese.
Jason Frye, Head Cheesemaker at Pleasant Lane Farms, expressed his gratitude, stating, “The Pleasant Lane team is honored to take home first place for our 1976 Reserve Gouda in this year’s World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest. We are also especially proud to represent Pennsylvania dairy with the wins we received for our Cheddar and Buffalo Ranch Cheese Curds—a hard-fought category in Wisconsin!”
The judging for these awards took place from August 22nd to 24th in Madison, Wisconsin, leading up to the World Dairy Expo scheduled for early October.
