CHAPEL HILL — For the second year in a row, Chapel Hill Creamery has won Best of North Carolina and Best of Show awards in the N.C. State Fair International Cheese Competition.
Judging was held Oct. 11, ahead of the start of the N.C. State Fair, which opens Thursday.
Cheeses were judged on technical and aesthetic merits using the American Cheese Society’s point system. Eight cheese makers submitted 36 cheeses in the contest.
Chapel Hill Creamery’s Carolina Moon cheese won the awards in the open class soft-ripened cheese. Last year, the creamery’s Calvander cheese took home blue ribbons for Best of Show and Best of North Carolina. For 2013, the creamery also won gold medals for Swiss style cheese, mozzarella cheese, and open class hard cheese; and silver medals in flavored hard cheese, flavored soft cheese, smear ripened cheese and open class soft and spreadable.
