WCMA opens 2022 World Championship Cheese Contest for entries
The biennial contest is the largest technical dairy products evaluation in the world.
Cheesemakers and other dairy processors are invited to enter to compete in the 2022 World Championship Cheese Contest. The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) said entries of cheese, butter, yogurt and dry dairy ingredients are being accepted now through Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022, at WorldChampionCheese.org.
Hosted by WCMA since 1957, the biennial contest is the largest technical dairy products evaluation in the world. In 2020, a record-setting 3,667 entries were submitted from 26 countries and 36 U.S. states, Madison, Wis.-based WCMA said. A Gruyère made in Bern, Switzerland, by Michael Spycher of Bergkäserei Fritzenhaus for Gourmino AG ultimately became the 2020 World Champion Cheese.
