Elizabeth, NJ – The autumn award season continues to honor Atalanta Corporation and Mariposa Dairy for their award-winning Tania Toscano Sheep’s Milk Cheese and Lindsay Bandaged Cheddar. Both sold under the Lenberg Farms Classic Reserve brand, Tania took gold in the Artisan Sheep’s Milk Cheese category, while Lindsay placed first in the Artisan Goat Milk Cheese category at the 86th annual British Empire Cheese Competition held in Ontario, Canada.
Mariposa and Atalanta took home 10 awards total, including honors for their Celebrity Goat Cheeses, which won five of 10 awards in the Goat Milk Cheese category alone. Mariposa was also honored as the dairy with the highest aggregate score throughout the competition.
The British Empire Cheese Competition is Canada’s longest-running cheese show, now in its 86th year. Held by the Central Ontario Cheese Maker Association, the show honors Canadian Cheddars, Artisan Specialty Cheeses and Butters. The artisan categories follow a strict set of guidelines, as all products must be hand-crafted and sourced from 100% local milk.
Both Lenberg Farms Classic Reserve and Celebrity Goat Cheeses are crafted by Mariposa Dairy and are exclusively distributed by Atalanta Corporation and Finica Food Specialties Ltd. in North America. Capping off an amazing year, the companies have won top honors at the American Cheese Society Awards in both 2012 and 2013.
