MONROE, Wis. — Emmi Roth USA received awards for its Grand Cru® Reserve, Grand Cru Surchoix® and Montanella™ Raclette cheeses at the recent Global Cheese Awards, held September 11, at the Frome Agricultural & Cheese Show in Frome, England. Since January, Emmi Roth has been recognized with 17 award wins in domestic and international competitions.
Roth® Grand Cru® Reserve took home a gold medal in the Single Specialty Cheese Hard category. Crafted in authentic copper vats and cured by Roth cellar masters for a complex and full-bodied flavor unlike any other, Grand Cru® Reserve is aged six to eight months to develop earthy and nutty flavors. Last month, Grand Cru® Reserve took home the prestigious title of Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo.
Roth® Grand Cru® Surchoix also secured a gold award in the Overseas Cheeses category, which consisted of cheeses from non-European countries. Made from a combination of the finest Wisconsin milk and classic Swiss traditions, Roth® Grand Cru® Surchoix cures for a minimum of nine months, providing a firm texture and complex flavors of caramel, fruit and mushroom.
Montanella™ Raclette, a classic washed rind cheese, was awarded silver in the Overseas Cheese category. Montanella™ Raclette is handcrafted in small batches and cellar cured to deliver a velvety, semi-soft body and a nutty, yeasty finish.
“We are honored to receive continued recognition for all of our cheeses on national and international stages,” said Linda Duwve, VP of Sales and Marketing at Emmi Roth USA. “Our cheesemakers and cellar masters are committed to delivering exceptional products. Award wins like this demonstrate the hard work and dedication everyone puts into our cheeses.”
Since 2011, the Global Cheese Awards have brought together cheesemakers from across the world to compete for various titles of distinction. This year’s competition featured more than 1,200 entries from 15 different countries.
