PERRY — A farmstead cheese from East Hill Creamery is about as close to perfection as you’re going to get.
The farmstead/artisan cheese earned a gold award in the 2023 Dairy Products Competition at the New York State Fair. It earned a solid 99 out of a possible 100 rating.
“This is our fourth award on that particular cheese,” said owner Gary Burley on Wednesday after the award was announced. “We’ve got two other medals for it — it’s a Gruyere-style. This will be our third gold medal and we got a recognition of excellence two years ago. She’s consistently winning, so she’s a good one.”
