RALEIGH — North Carolina's cheesemakers have duked it out for "Best in Show" at the State Fair for four years now, and each year Chapel Hill Creamery has swept the competition.
Chapel Hill Creamery's Calvander took the blue ribbon this year for the third time. The only other cheese to win the competition was the creamery's Camembert soft cheese, which took the prize last year.
On Friday morning, six local and visiting judges sniffed, nibbled and examined 76 cheeses from 15 competitors for more than four hours. With no wine in sight, they kept bite-sized crackers and water on hand.
