Wisconsin Dairy Products Association will be sponsoring its sixth annual
World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest this fall. The contest, the
only one of its kind in North America, will once again be held in conjunction
with World Dairy Expo. Based on the tremendous success of the first five years,
this year’s contest will be expanding for the sixth time. This year’s contest
will have 55 different categories, encompassing a wide range of dairy products
that include, cheese, butter, milk, ice cream, yogurt, whey, cottage cheese,
sour cream, whipping cream and more.
According to WDPA Executive
Director Brad Legreid, “In just five years, this contest has attained an
unprecedented level of entries for a newer contest. Due to an annual 40% growth
rate, this contest received almost 400 entries last year, making it the third
largest dairy contest in North America. Since this is the only North American
dairy contest that includes all dairy products, we have seen a tremendous amount
of interest and support for this contest, all of which is reflected in the
contest’s impressive rate of growth. As this unique contest continues to grow
and more companies become aware of it, we believe it will evolve into one of the
premiere contests in the dairy industry.”
WDPA is issuing a “call for
judges” for the championship dairy product contest. Marianne Smukowski, WI
Center for Dairy Research, is the head judge and will lead all contest judging.
