California Cheese

[Maggs44]

I have seen alot of ads on tv promoting California Cheese showing happy cows in sunny California and cows in snowy cold Wisconsin trying to "run away" to California.

Well, last week the largest international cheese competition was held and Wisconsin companys produced 17 gold medal cheeses and California won.... ZERO, NADA gold medals. A company in Monroe Wis won 3 golds alone (the first time a single company has won 3 golds in 50 years). They won with havarti, brick (my fav) and peppered feta.

Take that California, we still are the champions and still are the real dairy state.

You can read the results of the World Championship Cheese Contest HERE. It's very interesting to say the least .... I would have expected to see France, England or even Spain in more categories. Truly more interesting as I read the results, thanks Maggs44

California cheese is a cottage industry.

Damn! Don't you hate that when the event does not sell out and they balck it out in the area. Just like the Raiders out here in Cali.

I would have paid double or triple face to a scalper to get Cheese Championship tickets. :laugh:
