Tillamook's Colby Cheese Takes First Place At ACS

TILLAMOOK – Tillamook Colby cheese took first place in the 2011 American Cheese Society Judging and Competition held in August in Montréal, Quebec, Canada.

Overall, Tillamook brand cheeses earned four awards.

Earlier this year at the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest, Tillamook’s Monterey Jack and Colby Jack both were judged best of class.

The Tillamook County Creamery Association thus has achieved the cheese version of a triple crown after winning the World’s Best Medium Cheddar award at the 2010 World Championship Cheese Contest.
