David Gremmels awarded American Cheese Society honors.
David Gremmels, Rogue Creamery president and the visionary behind such cheeses as the 2019/20 World Champion cheese, Rogue River Blue, has been recognized with the American Cheese Society (ACS) Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 2005, it was Gremmels himself who petitioned ACS to introduce a Lifetime Achievement Award. The organization’s first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award honored Gremmels’ mentor, Ignazio “Ig” Vella, now remembered as, “The Godfather of Artisanal Cheese.” Now, 17 years later, David Gremmels has been inducted into his mentor’s esteemed company.
