Websterville, VT— Vermont Creamery’s fresh and aged cheeses earned international recognition over the weekend, taking home seven World Cheese Awards at the annual competition held this year in Bergen, Norway.
Bonne Bouche and Bijou both won gold, herb goat cheese took silver, and Coupole, classic goat cheese, pepper goat cheese and cranberry orange & cinnamon goat cheese all won bronze.

This is the third World Cheese Award for Bonne Bouche and Bijou, the fourth for Coupole and the third for classic goat cheese.
