The 15 new ‘cheftestants’ vying for the title of Top Chef will have the opportunity to cook with Tillamook products all season long.
Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA), a 112-year-old farmer-owned dairy co-operative based in Tillamook, Ore., said it is the official cheese and butter brand for this season of Bravo's "Top Chef" in Portland, produced by Magical Elves. The 15 new “cheftestants” vying for the title of Top Chef will have the opportunity to cook with award-winning Tillamook products all season long.
"The shared passion for food, joy and obsession with being able to turn a simple meal into something extraordinary is why fans love Tillamook and love 'Top Chef,'" said Sue Kapllani, TCCA's vice president of marketing. "We've transformed from being known as a local Oregon dairy brand to becoming the fastest-growing dairy wall natural cheese brand nationally. It will be a hallmark moment for those that grew up with Tillamook to watch this season's contestants cook up some extra flavorful dishes using our bold and beloved products."
