BANDON — Less than three months after opening, Face Rock Creamery has earned unprecedented kudos in the cheese making world.

The creamery won first place last weekend at the annual American Cheese Society’s Judging & Competition for its Vampire Slayer curds, under the “fresh, unripened cheeses with flavor added” category. The competition was held in Madison, Wis.

“It’s probably the largest cheese judging competition in North America,” said a proud Face Rock Creamery owner Greg Drobot on Monday. “Kind of like the Oscars of cheese.”

Drobot said the award is a huge honor and almost unprecedented with such a new company.
