Whitestone Cheese has got the blues – but in a good way.
The Oamaru-based company has been awarded a silver medal in the blue vein division of the 2016 World Championship Cheese Contest in the United States, the world's largest cheese, butter and yoghurt competition.
The contest, hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association, attracted a record 2948 entries from 25 countries. Judges came from all over the world and included Fonterra research technologist Andrew Legg.
It was the first time Whitestone Cheese has entered the awards and the silver medal was the highest award achieved by a New Zealand entry.
