Crave Brothers award-winning Mascapone cheese just keeps winning!

Back in March, the classic fresh, sweet cheese earned its 20th honor with 2nd place in the Open Class Soft Cheese category at the 2011 United States Championship Cheese Contest.

This time, they took First Place in the 2011 American Cheese Society (ACS) Conference and Competition. In the same competition, Crave Brothers Petit Frère® Reserve was awarded Third Place in the Farmstead Cheeses category. Competing products in this category are made with milk from herds on the same farm where the cheese is produced. Petit Frère® (“little brother” in French) is the 8-oz. version of the 2-pound wheel of Les Frères® rind-washed European-style cheese. Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics are made with vegetarian rennet and BGH-free milk from the Crave Brothers Dairy Farm.

The 2011 competition was held during the 29th Annual American Cheese Society Conference in Montreal. This year, a record number of 1,676 entries competed for awards. All told, cheese and cultured milk products were submitted from 258 companies in the U.S. and Canada.
