Gold Medals were also awarded to Cobb Hill Cheese (VT) for Four Corners Caerphilly and Ascutney Mountain; Bellwether Farms (CA) for Carmody; Farms for City Kids Foundation (VT) for Spring Brook Farm Tarentaise; Homestead Creamery (MO) for Olde Hickory; and Gingerbread Jersey Cheese (WI) for Taste of Athens.
The cheese awarded the title of the World's Best Jersey Cheese 2010 was "Jersey Blue," made by Willi Schmid from Switzerland. A total of 102 entries were received from 10 countries, with a total of 38 medals awarded by an eight-member judging panel.
