Atalanta is an exclusive partner with Mariposa Dairy, a premium cheese company in southern Ontario, Canada. Celebrity™ Goat Cheese is crafted from fresh goat cheeses from Mariposa Dairy’s own herd, which graze on a high-protein diet of roasted soybeans for highest quality milk. Lenberg Farms is Mariposa's artisanal brand that features cheeses that include aged—goat’s milk cheddar, and sheep’s milk cheeses.
At the International Cheese Awards, Lenberg Farms' Lindsay Bandaged Goat Cheddar received a silver award in the bandaged cheddar category, a second silver in hard pressed cheeses, and a gold in Canadian goat cheeses. Celebrity™ Goat with Cranberry and Cinnamon won a gold award for cheese with additives. Lenberg Farms' Zoey, a mixed milk (goat and sheep) cheese with a salt hand-washed rind, scored a silver in the Canadian washed rind category. Lenberg Farms also took home several awards in 2017 at the UK Nantwich Cheese Competition.
At the American Cheese Society Competition, Celebrity™ Goat Butter received second place. Lenberg Farms Zoey landed in third place, as did Celebrity™ Goat and Sheep Milk Feta. “Lenberg Farms is such a unique collection of cheeses, and the Celebrity™ Goat Cheese and Butter is crafted with the best quality milk… Mariposa Dairy is an impressive organization who truly cares about its animals welfare, their farmers and their responsibility to the community, which reflects in their product", said Vince Staiger, Atalanta Director of Business Development, who manages these brands. “We are proud to bring these award-winner cheeses to the American market.”
